6A Region 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Deuce Knight Leads George County over West Harrison
On Friday, George County got the W thanks in part to Deuce Knight playing the best football he has all season. Knight threw for 538 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 76.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 113 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.5 passing touchdowns per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
West Harrison's probably not too fond of Knight given he always seems to get the better of them. When Knight last faced the Hurricanes back in October of 2023, he threw for 323 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.5 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 48 yards and two touchdowns.

On Friday, West Harrison had to settle for second even though Jordan Stapleton put up the best numbers he has all season. Stapleton rushed for 312 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.6 yards per carry, and also picked up 41 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. West Harrison is 2-1 when Stapleton posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
West Harrison is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-4. Stapleton and West Harrison will face off against Pascagoula at 6:55 p.m. on Friday.
