5A-1 Region II District 8 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 Walker Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Georgetown got the W thanks in part to Jett Walker playing the best football he has all season. Walker rushed for 404 yards while picking up 25.3 yards per carry, 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 108 or more in the last six games he's played.
The win (which was Georgetown's fourth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Walker and Georgetown will face off against Lake Belton at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Ty Blair Dazzles in East View Win
Ty Blair posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 274 yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for East View: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least 100 rushing yards, but 1-3 otherwise.
East View and Rouse are set to duel on Friday. Blair will face off against London Morgan, the Raiders' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Chaparral is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-6. Coleman and Chaparral will be playing at home against Glenn at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
