Christian (8 Man) 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!
Ty Jones Turns in Season-Best Performance
Ty Jones produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Russell Christian Academy to the win on Friday. Jones' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his 13th straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 62 yards.
Victory Christian's probably not too fond of Jones given he always seems to get the better of them. When Jones last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 247 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 87 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Jackson Harris and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Jackson Harris's big game helped extend Tuscaloosa Christian's winning streak to four on Friday. Tabernacle had no answer to Harris as he picked up 46 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
This season, Harris has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 56.7 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had five rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 13.
