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!
A Season-Best Performance from Rodrevious Bailey Leads Lafayette County over Gurdon
On Friday, Lafayette County had to settle for second even though Rodrevious Bailey put up the best numbers he has all season. Bailey rushed for 229 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 49 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Lafayette County now has a losing record at 2-3. Bailey and Lafayette County will challenge Spring Hill at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Laster Made His Presence Known in Gurdon's 39-36 Win

Jaz Radford Makes It Two for Lafayette County

For the season, Radford has averaged 89 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 22.33
The second Gurdon player making an appearance here is Jamari Williams, and for good reason. He rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns.
Williams must have Lafayette County's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in August of 2023 (the last time Williams saw the Cougars), he rushed for 77 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries.
