Jacques Chiller's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Riverside Military Academy over Loganville Christian Academy
Starting off the list is Riverside Military Academy's Jacques Chiller, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Chiller rushed for 225 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, and also picked up 41 receiving yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Chiller and Riverside Military Academy will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on George Walton Academy at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th. The contest will pit Chiller up against the Bulldogs' star rusher Zack Wolf. 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.

George Walton Academy Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Aj Dillard
George Walton Academy picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Aj Dillard. Dillard did his part (and then some), rushing for 109 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also throwing for 110 yards and a touchdown on only seven passes for the 'W'. He is becoming a predictor of George Walton Academy's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
George Walton Academy has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. Dillard and George Walton Academy will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Riverside Military Academy at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

The second Riverside Military Academy player making an appearance here is Jj Blackwell, and for good reason. He rushed for 50 yards, and also threw for 87 yards and a touchdown while completing 83.3% of his passes.
Blackwell and Riverside Military Academy will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on George Walton Academy at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th. The contest will pit Blackwell up against the Bulldogs' star quarterback Aj Dillard. 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.
