GIAA AA/A District 1 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!
Judson Walls Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Central Fellowship Christian Academy's Judson Walls, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Walls rushed for 287 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 130 or more in the last eight games he's played.
On the season, Walls has averaged 27.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 103.22 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 184.67 rushing yards.

Flint River Academy pushed their record up to 8-0 with the victory, which was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season. Jones and Flint River Academy will head out to challenge Rock Springs Christian Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Joshua Mcdaniel Makes It Two for Rock Springs Christian Academy
The second Rock Springs Christian Academy player making an appearance here is Joshua Mcdaniel, and for good reason. He picked up 44 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Mcdaniel must have Creekside Christian Academy's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Mcdaniel rushed for 222 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.7 yards per carry the last time he and Creekside Christian Academy duked it out back in September of 2023.
