SCISA 1A Region II Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Mikell Tucker Mathis' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Patrick Henry Academy over Colleton Prep Academy
Starting off the list is Patrick Henry Academy's Mikell Tucker Mathis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mathis rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 128 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 passes. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
Patrick Henry Academy has traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-5 record this season. Mathis and Patrick Henry Academy will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Orangeburg Prep at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

Shuford Posts Huge Game in 48-6 Victory
Beaufort Academy found a leader in Dietrich Shuford as the squad took down Faith Christian on Friday. Nobody could stop Shuford as he rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 105 yards and a touchdown while completing 88.9% of his passes.
Beaufort Academy's win bumped their record up to 6-3. Shuford and Beaufort Academy will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Andrew Jackson Academy at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

Tony O'banner Dazzles in Thomas Heyward Academy Victory
Tony O'Banner continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 11th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 33 receiving yards.
If the past is any indication, O'Banner could be in store for another big game when he takes on John Paul II on Friday. O'Banner rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also picked up 74 receiving yards the last time he and the Golden Warrriors duked it out back in August of 2023.
