AA Region 2 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!
James Neville Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Westside got the W thanks in part to James Neville playing the best football he has all season. Neville rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 93 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Westside's win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 3-5. Neville and Westside will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Rutland at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

Iverson Came Up Big in Westside's 35-21 Victory
Keeping Neville company is Kadiphius Iverson, a fellow Westside player. He rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 115 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Iverson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Rutland on Friday. When Iverson last faced the Hurricanes back in September of 2023, he rushed for 175 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry.

Pike County Gets a Boost from Sammons in 35-21 Defeat
Pike County was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Bryce Sammons did his best to prevent it. Sammons turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 33 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 121 yards and a touchdown.
This season, Sammons has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 126.3 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to seven.
