AA Region 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!
James Neville Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Westside got the W thanks in part to James Neville playing the best football he has all season. Neville rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 93 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Westside's victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 3-5. Neville and Westside will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Rutland at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

Westside Gets a Boost from Iverson in 35-21 Win
Another Westside player making an appearance on this list is Kadiphius Iverson. He rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 115 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Iverson is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Rutland on Friday. Iverson rushed for 175 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry the last time he and the Hurricanes duked it out back in September of 2023.

Sammons Came Up Big in Pike County's 35-21 Loss
Pike County was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Bryce Sammons did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Sammons as he rushed for 33 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 121 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Sammons has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 126.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to seven.
