AA Region 4 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!
Jonathan Clarkson Delivers Electric Effort Vs Chesterfield
Starting off the list is North Central's Jonathan Clarkson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Clarkson rushed for 252 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. He is becoming a predictor of North Central's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
The victory snapped North Central's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-3 record. Clarkson and North Central will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Cheraw at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

Cam Mcclendon Turns in Season-Best Performance
Cheraw was led to victory by Cam McClendon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. McClendon rushed for 224 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Cheraw: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
This year, McClendon has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 123.2 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns.

A Season-Best Performance from Tray Wilson Leads Central over Buford
Tray Wilson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Central to the win on Friday. Wilson picked up 160 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a rushing score. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 85 yards.
Wilson is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Cheraw on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wilson saw the Braves), he rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.
