GIAA AAAA/AAA District 5 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!
Landon Stancil Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Strong Rock Christian got the W thanks in part to Landon Stancil playing the best football he has all season. Stancil picked up 159 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 94-yard run.
With the win, Strong Rock Christian broke their four-game losing streak and moved their record to 4-5. Stancil will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Brookstone on Friday.
Gamescore: 69.78
Darnelle Hamilton Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Calvary Christian came up short on Friday despite Darnelle Hamilton delivering his best game to date. Hamilton picked up a sack and made 25 total tackles (5.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Hamilton has averaged 10.2 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack.
Gamescore: 47.55
Mercer Hudson Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Mercer Hudson posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Brookstone over Westfield School on Friday. Hudson picked up five sacks and made 14 total tackles. He has become a key player for Brookstone: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two sacks, but 2-3 otherwise.
Brookstone moved to 5-3 with that defeat, which also ended their four-game winning streak. Hudson and Brookstone will venture away from home to face off against Strong Rock Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 45.93
Calvary Christian came up short on Friday despite Nate Osborne delivering his best game to date. Osborne threw for 268 yards and a touchdown, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Osborne has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 106.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 20.13 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 60.07 passer rating.
Gamescore: 36.02

Another Strong Rock Christian player making an appearance on this list is Jake Johnson. He rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries.
On the year, Johnson has run in 11 touchdowns while averaging 91.6 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he had five rushing touchdowns.
