Keon Smith Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Bessemer City's Keon Smith, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Smith rushed for 181 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.2). His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 171 rushing yards.
The victory (which was Bessemer City's third in a row) raised their record to 8-4. Smith and Bessemer City have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Robbinsville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Zavion Wilson was a major factor in Burns's victory over North Stanly on Friday. Wilson was unstoppable, rushing for 81 yards.
Burns has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests, which provided a nice bump to their 8-3 record this season. Wilson and Burns will venture away from home to face off against Monroe at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

For the year, Davis has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 36.7 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after 11 games last season, he was only averaging 2.09 rushing yards per game.
