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 Victory
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.
If history really does repeat itself, Iverson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Rutland on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Iverson saw the Hurricanes), he rushed for 175 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry.
