Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jett Fletcher Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Jett Fletcher posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Wills Point over Ferris on Friday. Fletcher rushed for 209 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September. Wills Point is 4-1 when Fletcher posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
This year, Fletcher has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 136.8 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had five passing touchdowns.
Gamescore: 72.75
Mcneal Made His Presence Known in Ferris' 42-40 Win
Ferris found a leader in Brandon Mcneal as the team took down Wills Point on Friday. Mcneal turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 146 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, while also throwing for 60 yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
This year, Mcneal has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 104.2 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 41.70
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Devon Williams stepped things up a notch to give Ford the 'W'. Kemp had no answer to Williams as he rushed for 74 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. Williams also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defending three passes.
Ford's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-3. Williams and Ford will square off against Krum at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 37.00
Qui-Darwin Cotton Has Career-Day on Friday
Qui-Darwin Cotton produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Ferris to the win on Friday. Cotton rushed for 57 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the year, Cotton has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 36.4 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 36.32
Cayson Maupin and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Cayson Maupin's big game helped extend Sunnyvale's winning streak to five on Friday. Maupin was dynamite, throwing for 191 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 40 yards. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played.
If history really does repeat itself, Maupin might just drop another big game when he faces off against Caddo Mills on Friday. When Maupin last faced Caddo Mills back in September, he threw for 283 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per attempt.
