2A Mid-State 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!
Jariel Cobb Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Reidsville got the W thanks in part to Jariel Cobb playing the best football he has all season. Cobb rushed for 227 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 52 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making three total tackles.
Walkertown's probably not too fond of Cobb given he always seems to get the better of them. When Cobb last faced the Wolfpack back in October of 2023, he rushed for 77 yards and two touchdowns.
