Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tayveon Parry Turns in Season-Best Effort
Tayveon Parry produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Union to the win on Thursday. Parry rushed for 170 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Parry has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 85.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14.57 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 50.25
Jordan Schelling Delivers Best Effort of Season
Jordan Schelling produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Union to the win on Thursday. Schelling rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. His longest rush was for an incredible 89 yards.
Schelling and Union will look to defend their home field on Friday against Broken Arrow at 7:00 p.m. The Redhawks got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Tigers, probably because Schelling had a solid game then too: he picked up 58 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 46 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Octavian Roberson Makes It Two for Broken Arrow
