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!
Gregory Williams Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
Starting off the list is Homer's Gregory Williams, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Williams' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 171 rushing yards.
Homer's win bumped their record up to 2-5. Williams will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Magnolia School of Excellence on Friday.

While Tyquereis Wilson delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Union Parish. Wilson was unstoppable, making 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss). He also rushed for 158 rushing yards, which is notable because Union Parish is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-3 otherwise.
The loss snapped Union Parish's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-4 record. Wilson and Union Parish will venture away from home to square off against D'Arbonne Woods on Friday.

Antonio Nelson Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, North Caddo had to settle for second even though Antonio Nelson put up the best numbers he has all season. Nelson picked up 93 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 40 yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 84 yards.
North Caddo is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-4. They and Green Oaks are set to meet in a battle of mythical proportions on Friday.
