GIAA AAAA/AAA District 5 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!
Reid Came Up Big in Strong Rock Christian's 15-13 Loss
Starting off the list is Strong Rock Christian's Andrew Reid, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Reid rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 64 yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
On the season, Reid has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 116.9 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he was only averaging two rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 11.8 rushing yards.

Westfield School Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Brayden Gay
Brayden Gay's big game helped extend Westfield School's winning streak to five on Friday. Gay turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 230 yards and two touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground.
Westfield School's win was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-2. Gay and Westfield School will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against John Milledge Academy at 7:30 p.m. on November 8th.

Gray Jones Delivers Best Performance of Season
Gray Jones produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Brookstone to the win on Friday. Jones rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns. He also made an appearance on special teams (luckily for Brookstone): his a 51-yard strike wound up winning them the game.
Strong Rock Christian had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Jones it was a similar story. When Jones last faced the Patriots back in October of 2023, he rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries.

Hudson Made His Presence Known in Brookstone's 15-13 Win
Another Brookstone player making an appearance on this list is Mercer Hudson. He picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss). He also made an appearance on special teams (luckily for Brookstone): his a 51-yard strike wound up winning them the game.
Hudson and Brookstone will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Stratford Academy at 7:30 p.m. on November 8th. The Cougars got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Hudson had a solid game then too: he picked up a sack and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Jason Davis Has Career Rushing Day

St. Anne-Pacelli now has a losing record at 4-5. Davis and St. Anne-Pacelli will face off against Mount de Sales Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
