Pocket - Big School 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!
Jett Goldsberry Goes Supernova in Heritage Hills Victory
Jett Goldsberry was instrumental in extending Heritage Hills's winning streak to seven on Friday. Goldsberry did his part (and then some), throwing for 133 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushing for 61 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up 0.5 sacks, making five total tackles, and defending a pass.
Washington's probably not too fond of Goldsberry given he always seems to get the better of them. When Goldsberry last faced the Hatchets back in October of 2023, he threw for 141 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown.
