AAAA 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!
Aj Tillman Jr Goes Supernova in Mcdonough Loss
Starting off the list is McDonough's Aj Tillman Jr, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tillman Jr rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also caught a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 73-yard run.
Tillman Jr and McDonough will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Woodland at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. The game will pit Tillman Jr up against the Wolfpack's star RB Mark Howard. Will the contest be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
