AA 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!
Jonathan Clarkson Dazzles in North Central Win
Starting off the list is North Central's Jonathan Clarkson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Clarkson rushed for 252 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. He is becoming a predictor of North Central's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
The victory snapped North Central's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-3 record. Clarkson and North Central will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Cheraw at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

A Season-Best Performance from Cam Mcclendon Leads Cheraw over Andrew Jackson
Cheraw was led to victory by Cam McClendon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. McClendon rushed for 224 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Cheraw is 2-1 when McClendon posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the year, McClendon has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 123.2 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns.

Tray Wilson Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Central got the W thanks in part to Tray Wilson playing the best football he has all season. Wilson picked up 160 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a rushing score. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 85 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Wilson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Cheraw on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wilson saw the Braves), he rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.
