Southern Maryland 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!
Ahmad Griffith Delivers Best Effort of Season
St. Charles was led to victory by Ahmad Griffith, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Griffith rushed for 165 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of St. Charles' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 2-4 when he doesn't).
The win got St. Charles back to even at 5-5. Griffith and St. Charles will face off against Arundel on Friday.

Big Game from Drakeford Jr As Westlake Won 48-0
William Drakeford Jr put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September on Thursday. He rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 96 yards and a touchdown while completing 84.6% of his passes.
Westlake pushed their record up to 8-2 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Drakeford Jr and Westlake will welcome Potomac at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Devin Cox Makes It Two for Westlake
Keeping Drakeford jr company is Devin Cox, a fellow Westlake player. He rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries.
Cox must have Thomas Stone's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Cox rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on only six carries the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in October.

Christopher Brown Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, St. Charles got the W thanks in part to Christopher Brown playing the best football he has all season. Brown wasn't messing around, making 16 total tackles (2.0 for loss). The game was his tenth straight with ten or more total tackles.
On the season, Brown has averaged 12 total tackles per game.

David Nnabuko's Big Game Leads Westlake over Thomas Stone
Another Westlake player making an appearance on this list is David Nnabuko. He rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
Thomas Stone's probably not too fond of Nnabuko given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October (the last time Nnabuko saw the Cougars), he rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown.
