5A Region 5 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!

Ryan Reese Earns League's Top Spot

Starting off the list is Ramsay's Ryan Reese, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Reese picked up six sacks and made eight total tackles. He has become a key player for Ramsay: the team is undefeated when he posts at least three total tackles, but 2-3 otherwise.

The victory was the fourth in a row for Ramsay, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Reese and Ramsay will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Wenonah at 7:00 p.m.

Jayden Martin Crosses Big Stat Threshold

Keeping Reese company is Jayden Martin, a fellow Ramsay player. He rushed for 185 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.3 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (107.3) per game. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 77-yard run.

Martin and Ramsay will face off against Wenonah at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Martin will face off against Makhi Fowler, the Dragons' star RB. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Neil Brown Dazzles in Wenonah Victory

Neil Brown's big game helped extend Wenonah's winning streak to five on Friday. Brown did his part (and then some), throwing for 141 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 43 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.

Wenonah's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-1. Brown and Wenonah will head out to square off against Ramsay at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
