7A Central 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!
Pulaski Academy Gets a Boost from Cobb in 48-29 Defeat
Starting off the list is Pulaski Academy's Brandon Cobb, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cobb threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown. Cobb is crushing it when it comes to passing touchdowns: he's passed for at least three every time he's taken the field this season.
Pulaski Academy moved to 5-1 with that defeat, which also ended their five-game winning streak. Cobb's next matchup is against Cabot on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Tj Logan Goes Supernova in Pulaski Academy Defeat
The second Pulaski Academy player making an appearance here is Tj Logan, and for good reason. He made 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss). Logan is crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least six every time he's taken the field this season.
For the year, Logan has averaged 7.5 total tackles per game and for the season has 1 interception.

Myron Thrash Jr Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Bryant got the W thanks in part to Myron Thrash Jr playing the best football he has all season. Thrash Jr rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
Thrash Jr might have his next game, a home matchup with Little Rock Southwest, circled on his calendar. Thrash Jr rushed for 226 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, and also picked up 76 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Gryphons duked it out back in October of 2023.

This season, Svoboda has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 52.7 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had two receiving touchdowns.
