Tri-City 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!
Nance Made His Presence Known in Kimball's 35-7 Victory
Starting off the list is Kimball's Jermaine Nance, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Nance rushed for 221 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.5 yards per carry.
This year, Nance has run in 12 touchdowns while averaging 153.2 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns.

Jordin Thomas Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Thanks in part to Jordin Thomas, Lincoln said goodbye to their three-game losing streak. Thomas showed up in a big way on Friday, rushing for 139 yards and three touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (101). He is becoming a predictor of Lincoln's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
Thomas might have his next game, a home matchup with Lodi, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Thomas saw the Flames), he rushed for 220 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 38 receiving yards.

Moore Iii Posts Huge Game in 35-23 Win
Kenneth Moore Iii put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in August on Friday. He picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 79 yards on only five carries. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 77 yards.
The win was the fourth in a row for St. Mary, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Moore Iii and St. Mary's will take on Tracy at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Mckenzie As Edison Fell 35-23
Edison was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Amarion Mckenzie did his best to prevent it. Mckenzie turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 71 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, while also picking up 30 receiving yards. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 52 yards.
Mckenzie and Edison will be staying on the road on Saturday to face off against Kimball at 7:00 p.m. Mckenzie will face off against Jermaine Nance, the Jaguars' star running back. 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.
