AAAAAA Region 2 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 Julian Lewis Leads Carrollton over East Coweta
On Friday, Carrollton got the W thanks in part to Julian Lewis playing the best football he has all season. Lewis threw for 416 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 13.9 yards per attempt.
Lewis must have East Coweta's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Lewis saw the Indians), he threw for 455 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 15.7 yards per attempt.

Sean Smith produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Westlake to the win on Friday. Smith threw for 271 yards and five touchdowns while completing 81.3% of his passes.
Westlake's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-5. Smith and Westlake will host East Coweta at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Travis Smith Jr Turns in Season-Best Effort
Westlake was led to victory by Travis Smith Jr, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Smith Jr picked up 191 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Westlake's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is 3-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
This year, Smith Jr has caught 12 touchdowns while averaging 121.3 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 73.44 receiving yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Tomir Bransford Leads Westlake over Chapel Hill
Westlake was led to victory by Tomir Bransford, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Bransford rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August.
Bransford is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against East Coweta on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bransford saw the Indians), he rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns.

Peyton Zachary and Co. Win Ninth in a Row
Carrollton picked up their ninth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Peyton Zachary. Zachary turned in his biggest game of the season, picking up 104 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Zachary and Carrollton will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Douglas County at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st. Zachary will face off against Aaron Gregory, the Tigers' star receiver. 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.
