MAIS 8-Man 1A District 2 (8 Man) 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 Effort from Dylan Buckner Leads Claiborne Academy over Prairie View Academy
Sadly, Dylan Buckner posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Claiborne Academy over Prairie View Academy on Friday. Buckner rushed for 196 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 36 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Claiborne Academy is undefeated when Buckner posts 100 or more rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Claiborne Academy's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 6-2. Buckner and Claiborne 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 Tallulah Academy at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
