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!
Ameil Braswell Goes Supernova in Hillside Win
Starting off the list is Hillside's Ameil Braswell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Braswell rushed for 102 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
If history really does repeat itself, Braswell might just drop another big game when he faces off against Northern Durham on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Braswell saw the Knights), he rushed for 51 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries.

Channing Gaines Turns in Season-Best Effort

This year, Gaines has averaged 13 total tackles per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.6 total tackles per game.

Amareon Blue's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his fourth-straight game with 112+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 136 yards.
Unfortunately for Chapel Hill, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Blue. Blue rushed for 174 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 37 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in September of 2023.
