AAA Region 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!
Robinson Made His Presence Known in Walhalla's 49-7 Victory
Starting off the list is Walhalla's Landon Robinson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Robinson rushed for 162 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Robinson is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against West-Oak on Friday. When Robinson last faced the Warriors back in October of 2023, he rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry.

Jace Grass Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Pendleton got the W thanks in part to Jace Grass playing the best football he has all season. Grass threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes.
With the win, Pendleton broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 3-3. Grass and Pendleton will look to defend their home field on Friday against Belton-Honea Path at 7:30 p.m.

A Season-Best Performance from Bray Spear Leads Pendleton over West-Oak
On Friday, Pendleton got the W thanks in part to Bray Spear playing the best football he has all season. Spear rushed for 57 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Pendleton: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the year, Spear has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 58.5 rushing yards per game.

Belton-Honea Path Gets a Boost from Henderson in 48-21 Win
Marquise Henderson's big game helped extend Belton-Honea Path's winning streak to four on Friday. Henderson did his part (and then some), rushing for 104 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, while also picking up 37 receiving yards for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 104 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Belton-Honea Path pushed their record up to 7-1 with the win, which was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season. Henderson's next game is against Pendleton on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Silas Parish Makes It Two for Walhalla
The second Walhalla player making an appearance here is Silas Parish, and for good reason. He made six total tackles (1.0 for loss).
For the year, Parish has averaged 11.9 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.29 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 31.29 receiving yards.
