Tri-City 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!
Nance Came Up Big in Kimball's 35-7 Victory
Starting off the list is Kimball's Jermaine Nance, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Nance rushed for 221 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.5 yards per carry.
For the season, Nance has run in 12 touchdowns while averaging 153.2 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had four rushing touchdowns.

Jordin Thomas Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Lincoln's three-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Jordin Thomas. Thomas showed up in a big way on Friday, rushing for 139 yards and three touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (101). Lincoln is 2-1 when Thomas posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
If history really does repeat itself, Thomas might just drop another big game when he faces off against Lodi on Friday. When Thomas last faced the Flames back in October of 2023, he rushed for 220 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 38 receiving yards.

Moore Iii Posts Huge Game in 35-23 Win
Kenneth Moore Iii put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in August on Friday. He picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 79 yards on only five carries. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 77 yards.
The victory (which was St. Mary's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Moore Iii and St. Mary's will take on Tracy at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.

Mckenzie Made His Presence Known in Edison's 35-23 Defeat
While Amarion Mckenzie delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Edison. Mckenzie was unstoppable, rushing for 71 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, while also picking up 30 receiving yards. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 52 yards.
Mckenzie and Edison are on the road again on Saturday to play Kimball at 7:00 p.m. The matchup will pit Mckenzie up against the Jaguars' star rusher Jermaine Nance. 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.
