1A Region 6 Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Big Game from Wright As French Camp Academy Fell 22-12
Starting off the list is French Camp Academy's Logan Wright, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wright rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 113 yards and a touchdown.
Wright and French Camp Academy will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Velma Jackson at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. The contest will pit Wright up against the Falcons' star quarterback Trevon Willis. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

A Season-Best Performance from Jake Newman Leads Ethel over French Camp Academy
On Friday, Ethel got the W thanks in part to Jake Newman playing the best football he has all season. Newman rushed for 61 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Ethel's win ended a four-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-4. Newman and Ethel will take on McAdams at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Velma Jackson Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Trevon Willis
Velma Jackson picked up their fifth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Trevon Willis. McAdams had no answer to Willis as he threw for 110 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 6-for-6 passing, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
For the season, Willis has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 95 passing yards per game.

Tyshun Willis and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Tyshun Willis's big game helped extend Velma Jackson's winning streak to five on Thursday. Willis did his part (and then some), picking up a sack and making two total tackles (2.0 for loss) for the 'W'. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made two total tackles (2.0 for loss).
McAdams's probably not too fond of Willis given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Willis saw the Bulldogs), he picked up two sacks, forced two fumbles, and made four total tackles.
