1A District 1 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!
Grant Made His Presence Known in Maclay's 41-0 Win
Starting off the list is Maclay's George Grant, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Grant threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns.
Grant and Maclay will face off against Deerfield-Windsor at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Marauders had to take a loss when they last met the Knights, but Grant had little to do with the loss: he threw for 252 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 64 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

A Season-Best Performance from Ethan Braun Leads St. John Paul II over Rickards
Ethan Braun produced his most outstanding game to date while leading St. John Paul II to the win on Friday. Braun's receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 136 receiving yards dating back to last season. He also hauled in two receiving touchdowns, which is notable because St. John Paul II is undefeated when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
St. John Paul II's road trip will continue as they head out to face FAMU DRS at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Panthers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Baby Rattlers, probably because Braun had a solid game then too: he picked up 105 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Caden "6" Collier Makes It Two for St. John Paul II

Adam Bailey Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
