Christian (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jones Came Up Big in Russell Christian Academy's 68-8 Win
Ty Jones continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 14th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 106 rushing yards. He rushed for 141 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If history really does repeat itself, Jones might just drop another big game when he faces off against Tuscaloosa Christian on Friday. Jones rushed for 220 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also threw for 72 yards and a touchdown the last time he and Tuscaloosa Christian duked it out back in September.

Colby Harrison's Big Game Leads Cornerstone Christian over Clay County Christian Academy
Cornerstone Christian found a leader in Colby Harrison as the team took down Clay County Christian Academy on Thursday. Harrison was unstoppable, rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, while also catching a touchdown. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles (4.0 for loss).
If the past is any indication, Harrison could be in store for another big game when he takes on Jacksonville Christian Academy on Friday. When Harrison last faced the Thunder last Friday, he rushed for 91 yards and three touchdowns.

Bo Morphis' Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Bo Morphis posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 20 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Morphis and Russell Christian Academy will challenge Tuscaloosa Christian on Friday. Russell Christian Academy got just the result they wanted when they last faced Tuscaloosa Christian, probably because Morphis had a solid game then too: he threw for 102 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
