TAPPS Division I District 1 Top Player Performances of the Week

Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!

Sawyer Anderson Delivers Electric Performance Vs Trinity Christian

Starting off the list is Parish Episcopal's Sawyer Anderson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Anderson threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.

Anderson must have Trinity Christian's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Anderson threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns on only 17 passes the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.

While Matthew Mcclain delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Prestonwood Christian. Mcclain was dynamite, picking up 139 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His longest reception was for an incredible 76 yards.

Prestonwood Christian's defeat ended a seven-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 5-2. Mcclain and Prestonwood Christian will take on Legacy Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Luke Lawrence Makes It Two for Legacy Christian Academy

Keeping Jones company is Luke Lawrence, a fellow Legacy Christian Academy player. He rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 193 yards and a touchdown.
