1A District 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!
A Season-Best Performance from George Grant Leads Maclay over FAMU DRS
On Friday, Maclay got the W thanks in part to George Grant playing the best football he has all season. Grant threw for 306 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 58 yards.
Grant must have FAMU DRS's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Grant last faced the Baby Rattlers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 109 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 255 yards and four touchdowns.
