MAIS 8-Man 1A District 2 (8 Man) 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Dylan Buckner Leads Claiborne Academy over Prairie View Academy
Claiborne Academy came up short on Friday despite Dylan Buckner delivering his best game to date. Buckner rushed for 196 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 36 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Claiborne Academy's success: when he posts at least 100 rushing yards the team is 4-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
This is the second loss in a row for Claiborne Academy and nudges their season record down to 5-3. Buckner and Claiborne Academy will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Tallulah Academy at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 73.23
While Briarfield Academy might've come up empty on Friday, Hayden Smith wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Smith as he picked up 77 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 65 yards.
With the loss, Briarfield Academy broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-2. Smith and Briarfield Academy will take on Union Christian Academy on Friday.
