Division II-A West 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!
Corbin Bowling Turns in Season-Best Effort
Fayette Academy was led to victory by Corbin Bowling, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Bowling rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 53 yards and a touchdown on only five passes. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
Bowling must have Westwood's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Bowling saw the Longhorns), he rushed for 174 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 68 yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Performance from Duece Lawrence Leads Jackson Christian over First Assembly Christian
On Friday, Jackson Christian got the W thanks in part to Duece Lawrence playing the best football he has all season. Lawrence rushed for 119 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries.
Lawrence is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Lake County on Friday. When Lawrence last faced the Falcons back in October of 2023, he rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Brayden Waller stepped things up a notch to give Trinity Christian Academy the 'W'. Waller was unstoppable, picking up 24 receiving yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Waller might just drop another big game when he faces off against First Assembly Christian on Friday. Waller picked up 80 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Crusaders duked it out back in October of 2023.

Lekhy Thompkins Makes It Two for Trinity Christian Academy

Thompkins rushed for 265 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also picked up 58 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Crusaders duked it out back in October of 2023.
