A D2 Region 6 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!
Jayden Richardson Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Marion County got the W thanks in part to Jayden Richardson playing the best football he has all season. Richardson rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
Richardson might have his next game, a home matchup with Chattahoochee County, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Richardson saw the Panthers), he rushed for 161 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries.
Gamescore: 48.75
Schley County took down Taylor County on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Zayden Walker's effort. Nobody could stop Walker as he picked up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
The victory got Schley County back to even at 4-4. Walker and Schley County will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Central at 6:30 p.m. on October 18th.
