TAPPS Division I District 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Sawyer Anderson Goes Supernova in Parish Episcopal Victory
Starting off the list is Parish Episcopal's Sawyer Anderson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Anderson threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
Anderson must have Trinity Christian's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Anderson saw the Trojans), he threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns on only 17 passes.

Prestonwood Christian Gets a Boost from Mcclain in 30-27 Defeat
While Prestonwood Christian might've come up empty on Friday, Matthew Mcclain wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Mcclain as he picked up 139 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 76 yards.
Prestonwood Christian's loss ended a seven-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 5-2. Mcclain and Prestonwood Christian will take on Legacy Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
