6A 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!
Greenwood Wins 19th-Straight Thanks to Kane Archer
Greenwood picked up their 19th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kane Archer. Archer did his part (and then some), throwing for 393 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 77.3% of his passes for the 'W'.
If history really does repeat itself, Archer might just drop another big game when he faces off against Lake Hamilton on Friday. When Archer last faced the Wolves back in October of 2023, he threw for 239 yards and three touchdowns while completing 90.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown.

Max Eldridge Turns in Season-Best Effort

For the season, Eldridge has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 34.8 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 49.15
Griffin Mason Delivers Electric Effort Vs Southside
Keeping Eldridge company is Griffin Mason, a fellow Shiloh Christian player. He rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 42 receiving yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 111 rushing yards dating back to last season.
On the season, Mason has caught 1 touchdown while averaging 27.8 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 8.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 185.83 rushing yards.

Barton Came Up Big in Lake Hamilton's 41-3 Victory
Hayden Barton's big game helped extend Lake Hamilton's winning streak to five on Friday. Van Buren had no answer to Barton as he rushed for 126 yards and three touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown. Barton's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Van Buren's probably not too fond of Barton given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Barton saw the Pointers), he rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry.

Gage Hanna and Co. Win 19th in a Row

For the season, Hanna has averaged 7.2 total tackles per game and for the season has those 1 sack. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.67 total tackles per game.
