Mahoning Valley - Grey 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!

Bates Posts Huge Game in 40-0 Victory

Starting off the list is Garfield's Devin Bates, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bates rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.

The win (which was Garfield's sixth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Bates and Garfield will head out on the road to square off against Crestview at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Maxwell Hawkins Delivers Electric Effort Vs Champion

Maxwell Hawkins's big game helped extend Crestview's winning streak to seven on Friday. Hawkins did his part (and then some), rushing for 129 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.

Champion's probably not too fond of Hawkins given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hawkins saw the Golden Flashes), he rushed for 206 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry.

Crestview Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Jake Noling

Jake Noling's big game helped extend Crestview's winning streak to seven on Friday. Noling did his part (and then some), throwing for 101 yards and two touchdowns on perfect 8-for-8 passing, while also rushing for 82 yards on only six carries for the 'W'.

This season, Noling has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 78.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.18 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 118.9 passer rating.

AJ Mcewen and Co. Win Seventh in a Row

AJ McEwen's big game helped extend Crestview's winning streak to seven on Friday. McEwen turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up two sacks and making six total tackles.

For the season, McEwen has averaged 3 total tackles per game and for the season has those 2 sacks.
