VISAA Blue Ridge 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Christian Ray Leads Fredericksburg Christian over Smith Mountain Lake Christian Academy
Christian Ray produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Fredericksburg Christian to the win on Friday. Ray rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, 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 150 or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Ray might have his next game, a road matchup with Fork Union Military Academy, circled on his calendar. When Ray last faced the Blue Devils back in October of 2023, he rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.1 yards per carry.

Blue Ridge's win bumped their record up to 5-0. Stafford's next matchup is against Atlantic Shores Christian on Saturday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
