TAPPS Division I District 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Chase Garnett Delivers Best Effort of Season
Liberty Christian was led to victory by Chase Garnett, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Garnett rushed for 192 yards and three touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (108.3). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Prestonwood Christian's probably not too fond of Garnett given he always seems to get the better of them. Garnett rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Lions duked it out back in August of 2023.
