AAAA Region 2 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!
Edmonds Made His Presence Known in Jones County's 42-14 Victory
Starting off the list is Jones County's Devin Edmonds, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Edmonds threw for 258 yards and five touchdowns while completing 79.2% of his passes.
Edmonds and Jones County will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Eagle's Landing at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. The Greyhounds got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Edmonds had a solid game then too: he threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns on only 19 passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
