TAPPS Division II District 4 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Beau Ellis Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, The Woodlands Christian Academy got the W thanks in part to Beau Ellis playing the best football he has all season. Ellis rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 95 receiving yards and a touchdown. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 69 yards.
Ellis and The Woodlands Christian Academy will be staying on the road on Saturday to face off against Fort Bend Christian Academy at 1:00 p.m. The last time Ellis took on the Eagles, he picked up 88 receiving yards, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Kole Whiddon Delivers Electric Performance Vs St. Anthony
Kole Whiddon's big game helped extend Fort Bend Christian Academy's winning streak to six on Thursday. St. Anthony had no answer to Whiddon as he rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 89 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Whiddon's passing game has become a key predictor of Fort Bend Christian Academy's success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 3-4 otherwise.
Whiddon is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against The Woodlands Christian Academy on Friday. When Whiddon last faced the Warriors last Friday, he rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 208 yards and two touchdowns on only 19 passes.
