AAAA Region 1 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!
Truell Made His Presence Known in New Hampstead's 34-22 Loss
Starting off the list is New Hampstead's Rashawn Truell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Truell threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. His passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 300 passing yards dating back to last season.
Truell will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Wayne County on Friday. The Phoenix had to take a loss when they last met the Yellow Jackets, but Truell had little to do with the loss: he threw for 350 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Kory Pettigrew Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Perry got the W thanks in part to Kory Pettigrew playing the best football he has all season. Pettigrew picked up 181 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 67 yards.
Pettigrew and Perry will take on Benedictine at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Pettigrew up against the Cadets' star receiver Joshua Washington. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.

Bubba Frazier was a major factor in Benedictine's victory over Wayne County on Friday. Nobody could stop Frazier as he rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 51 receiving yards. Benedictine is undefeated when Frazier posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
This season, Frazier has averaged 93.5 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 17.83 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 45.33 rushing yards.

Big Game from Hooks As Ware County Fell 31-21

Ware County now has a losing record at 3-4. Hooks and Ware County will challenge Warner Robins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Jack Ganem Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Benedictine got the W thanks in part to Jack Ganem playing the best football he has all season. Ganem picked up 156 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Ganem and Benedictine will welcome Perry at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Ganem up against the Panthers' star wideout Kiel Sparks. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
