3A Quad County 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!
Ricky Elliott Dazzles in C.B. Aycock Victory
C.B. Aycock picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ricky Elliott. Elliott did his part (and then some), rushing for 149 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry for the 'W'. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 53 yards.
South Johnston's probably not too fond of Elliott given he always seems to get the better of them. Elliott rushed for 151 yards the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in September of 2023.

A Season-Best Performance from Jerimiah Peart Leads Fike over Smithfield-Selma
On Friday, Fike got the W thanks in part to Jerimiah Peart playing the best football he has all season. Peart rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
The victory was the third in a row for Fike, bringing their record for this year to 4-2. Peart and Fike will take on C.B. Aycock at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cameron Pittman Makes It Two for Fike
Keeping Peart company is Cameron Pittman, a fellow Fike player. He rushed for 63 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 123 yards on 11 of 22 attempts.
This season, Pittman has averaged 144.8 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to eight.

Antwain Grantham Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
On Friday, C.B. Aycock got the W thanks in part to Antwain Grantham playing the best football he has all season. Grantham wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making 12 total tackles (5.0 for loss). The game was his 13th straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
South Johnston's probably not too fond of Grantham given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Grantham saw the Trojans), he made 13 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
