3A-2 Region III District 11 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!
Bryce Wallum Delivers Best Effort of Season
Troup was led to victory by Bryce Wallum, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Wallum rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 224 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Tigers challenges Winona at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Tigers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wildcats, probably because Wallum had a solid game then too: he rushed for 41 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 31 receiving yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Josh Smith's Big Game Leads Arp over Buffalo
Josh Smith was a major factor in Arp's victory over Buffalo on Friday. Nobody could stop Smith as he rushed for 99 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. Arp is undefeated when Smith posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Arp has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Smith and Arp will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Elkhart at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

Judson Dotson's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
On Friday, West Rusk got the W thanks in part to Judson Dotson playing the best football he has all season. Dotson rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 149 yards and three touchdowns on only ten passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for West Rusk: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
Dotson and West Rusk will venture away from home to square off against New Diana at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Dotson up against the Eagles' star signal caller Dejuan Johnson. 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.
