Pocket - Big School 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!
Jett Goldsberry Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Heritage Hills picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jett Goldsberry. Goldsberry showed up in a big way, rushing for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, while also throwing for 53 yards and a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (102.8) per game. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 62 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Goldsberry might just drop another big game when he faces off against Washington on Friday. When Goldsberry last faced the Hatchets back in October of 2023, he threw for 141 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown.

Big Game from Lesure As Washington Fell 35-18
While Xavion Lesure delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Washington. Lesure was unstoppable, picking up 38 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 70 yards.
On the season, Lesure has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 22.1 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 49.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 93.75 rushing yards.

Heritage Hills Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Hunter Meredith
Hunter Meredith's big game helped extend Heritage Hills's winning streak to six on Friday. Princeton had no answer to Meredith as he rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 61 yards.
Princeton's probably not too fond of Meredith given he always seems to get the better of them. When Meredith last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.
Gamescore: 39.70
Boonville found a leader in Grant Davis as the team took down Washington on Friday. Davis did his part (and then some), rushing for 53 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
Davis and Boonville will look to defend their home field on Friday against Gibson Southern at 7:30 p.m. Davis will face off against Zach Foster, the Titans' star quarterback. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Tyler Rinehart Makes It Two for Boonville
Another Boonville player making an appearance on this list is Tyler Rinehart. He rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries.
Rinehart and Boonville will host Gibson Southern at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Rinehart will face off against Maddux Potts, the Titans' star WR. 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.
