5A District 4 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!
Big Game from Foster As Liberty Magnet Fell 42-14
Starting off the list is Liberty Magnet's Zaiden Foster, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Foster rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 57 yards.
Liberty Magnet has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-4 record this season. Foster and Liberty Magnet have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Zachary at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Tralan Sept Makes It Three for Zachary
Another Zachary player making an appearance on this list is Tralan Sept. He picked up 19 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Scotlandville's probably not too fond of Sept given he always seems to get the better of them. When Sept last faced the Hornets back in October of 2023, he rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 45 receiving yards and a touchdown.
