6A Region 7 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!
Trey Greenwell Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Decatur's Trey Greenwell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Greenwell made eight total tackles. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 80 yards.
This season, Greenwell has averaged 6.8 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 15 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 30 receiving yards.

Edwards Made His Presence Known in Athens' 49-20 Victory
Athens found a leader in Xavier Edwards as the team took down Decatur on Friday. Edwards turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown, while also catching a touchdown.
Athens pushed their record up to 7-2 with the win, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Edwards and Athens are taking a road trip to take on Russellville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cayden Oliver Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Decatur had to settle for second even though Cayden Oliver put up the best numbers he has all season. Oliver wasn't messing around, forcing a fumble and making 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss). The matchup was his 11th straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
This year, Oliver has averaged 11.7 total tackles per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.2 total tackles per game.

Brogan Gross Makes It Two for Athens
Another Athens player making an appearance on this list is Brogan Gross. He threw for 134 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 8-for-8 passing, and also punched in a rushing score.
Gross and Athens will face off against Russellville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Golden Eagles got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Golden Tigers, probably because Gross had a solid game then too: he threw for 180 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
