Starting off the list is East Duplin's Shawn Davis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Davis rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 166 rushing yards.

Tyreek Copper's Big Game Leads Kinston over Southeast Alamance
Tyreek Copper's big game helped extend Kinston's winning streak to three on Friday. Copper was unstoppable, picking up 188 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 90 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Copper might just drop another big game when he faces off against Ayden - Grifton on Friday. Copper picked up 112 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Chargers duked it out back in September.

Wallace-Rose Hill Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Jamarae Lamb
Jamarae Lamb's big game helped extend Wallace-Rose Hill's winning streak to five on Friday. Lamb was unstoppable, picking up 77 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 62 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 67 yards.
Lamb and Wallace-Rose Hill will host James Kenan at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Lamb took on the Tigers, he rushed for 111 yards on only 14 carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Big Game from Jones As Kinston Won 26-13
The second Kinston player making an appearance here is Tyler Jones, and for good reason. He threw for 318 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per attempt. 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.
Jones and Kinston will square off against Ayden - Grifton at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Vikings got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Chargers, probably because Jones had a solid game then too: he threw for 181 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a rushing score. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
