5A-1 Region II District 5 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Rece Hoyt Dazzles in Lone Star Win
Lone Star picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Rece Hoyt. Hoyt was unstoppable, rushing for 80 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, while also throwing for 156 yards and a touchdown while completing 86.4% of his passes.
Hoyt and Lone Star will face off against Wakeland at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Rangers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wolverines, probably because Hoyt had a solid game then too: he rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

A Season-Best Performance from Adam Schmid Leads Centennial over Reedy
On Thursday, Centennial had to settle for second even though Adam Schmid put up the best numbers he has all season. Schmid threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 50 yards.
Schmid and Centennial will head out to square off against McKinney North at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The contest will pit Schmid up against the Bulldogs' star quarterback Hunter Kolosey. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
