6A Region I District 2 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!

Gavin Black Delivers Best Performance of Season

Gavin Black produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Permian to the win on Friday. Black's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 177 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 63 yards.

The victory for Permian keeps them at an undefeated 6-0. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers faces off against San Angelo Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Chase Campbell Has Career-Day on Friday

Frenship was led to victory by Chase Campbell, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Campbell picked up 68 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest reception was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.

Campbell and Frenship will challenge Midland Legacy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Campbell took on the Rebels, he picked up 144 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Elijah Mccoy Turns in Another Game with at Least 122 Rushing Yards

Elijah McCoy's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his sixth-straight game with 122+ rushing yards. He rushed for 215 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry.

With the loss, Midland broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 4-2. McCoy and Midland will venture away from home to take on Odessa at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Midland Gets a Boost from Bridges in 48-47 Loss

Another Midland player making an appearance on this list is Stroman Bridges. He rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 31 yards and a touchdown.

Unfortunately for Frenship, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Bridges. Bridges rushed for 209 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.
