AAAA Region 5 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!
Tre Leonard Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, South Florence got the W thanks in part to Tre Leonard playing the best football he has all season. Leonard rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for South Florence: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
The win (which was South Florence's fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Leonard and South Florence will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Hartsville at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.
