Pocket - Big School 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!
Jett Goldsberry Delivers Electric Effort Vs Washington
Heritage Hills picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jett Goldsberry. Goldsberry did his part (and then some), throwing for 133 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushing for 61 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up 0.5 sacks, made five total tackles, and defended a pass.
Unfortunately for Washington, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Goldsberry. When Goldsberry last faced the Hatchets back in October of 2023, he threw for 141 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown.

Hunter Meredith and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Hunter Meredith was instrumental in extending Heritage Hills's winning streak to seven on Friday. Meredith turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 62 yards on only five carries, while also catching a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles and defending a pass.
Meredith must have Washington's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Meredith picked up 76 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Hatchets duked it out back in October of 2023.

Davis Came Up Big in Boonville's 42-14 Loss
Rounding off our Top Five is Grant Davis of Boonville. Davis rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 59 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 80 yards.
Davis and Boonville will square off against Washington at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Davis will face off against Colton Stowers, the Hatchets' star signal caller. 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.
