6A-I District 1 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!
Carson Kirby Goes Supernova in Bixby Win
Starting off the list is Bixby's Carson Kirby, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kirby threw for 231 yards and five touchdowns while completing 82.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 67 yards.
Kirby's next matchup is against Enid on Thursday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. The last time Kirby took on the Plainsmen, he threw for 177 yards while completing 92.3% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Malikai Miller Delivers Best Effort of Season
Moore came up short on Friday despite Malikai Miller delivering his best game to date. Miller rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 185 yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 53 yards.
Miller is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Norman on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Miller saw the Tigers), he rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns.

Phoenix Murphy's Big Game Leads Norman over Enid

Norman's victory was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 5-1. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Tigers faces off against Moore at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
