5A Region 8 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!
Childers Made His Presence Known in Boaz's 35-14 Victory
Starting off the list is Boaz's Tristan Childers, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Childers rushed for 142 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 73 yards.
Unfortunately for Sardis, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Childers. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Childers saw the Lions), he rushed for 175 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry.

Jakai Hudgins Makes It Three for Boaz
Another Boaz player making an appearance on this list is Jakai Hudgins. He picked up 130 receiving yards and a touchdown. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 74 yards.
For the season, Hudgins has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 74.7 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had one receiving touchdown.
Gamescore: 19.42
Douglas had to settle for second on Friday, but Kenyon Watkins sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Watkins as he rushed for 95 yards.
Douglas has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Watkins and Douglas will look to defend their home field on Friday against Sardis at 7:00 p.m.
