GIAA AAAA/AAA District 5 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 Effort from Landon Stancil Leads Strong Rock Christian over Calvary Christian
Landon Stancil produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Strong Rock Christian to the win on Friday. Stancil picked up 159 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 94-yard run.
Stancil and Strong Rock Christian will face off against Brookstone at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Patriots had to take a loss when they last met the Cougars, but Stancil had little to do with the loss: he picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
