5A-1 Region III District 10 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
David Baines Turns in Season-Best Performance
David Baines produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Westbury to the win on Friday. Baines rushed for 178 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also threw for 196 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Baines has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 70.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to six.

Kevion West's Rushing Yards a New Career-High

Jeremiah Shelley Delivers Best Effort of Season
Westbury was led to victory by Jeremiah Shelley, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Shelley wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks and making eight total tackles.
