AAA Region 5 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!
Jayden Johnson's Big Game Leads Stephenson over Riverdale
Starting off the list is Stephenson's Jayden Johnson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Johnson rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. Stephenson is 4-1 when Johnson posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The win was the third in a row for Stephenson, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Jaguars takes on Luella at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Barton Made His Presence Known in Stephenson's 45-6 Win
Another Stephenson player making an appearance on this list is Marte Barton. He rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 133 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Jaguars challenges Luella at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Jaguars got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Lions, probably because Barton had a solid game then too: he threw for 123 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
