2A District 2 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!
Jay Freeman's Big Game Leads Oak Grove over Beekman Charter
Starting off the list is Oak Grove's Jay Freeman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Freeman rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, and also picked up 38 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Freeman might just drop another big game when he faces off against Mangham on Friday. When Freeman last faced the Dragons back in November of 2023, he rushed for 174 yards on only 15 carries, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Bradley Came Up Big in Oak Grove's 57-12 Win
Keeping Freeman company is Jackson Bradley, a fellow Oak Grove player. He threw for 134 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% 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 three games he's played dating back to last season.
Bradley and Oak Grove will venture away from home to challenge Mangham at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Bradley took on the Dragons, he rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 103 yards on six of 13 attempts. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Ferriday had to settle for second on Friday, but Robert Taylor sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Taylor was still balling out as he picked up 22 receiving yards.
With the loss, Ferriday broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 5-1. Taylor will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Madison on Thursday.
