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!
Jah Sheppard Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Martin County's Jah Sheppard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Sheppard rushed for 173 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.2 rushing touchdowns per game.
The victory (which was Martin County's fifth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Sheppard and Martin County will face off against Washington County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Knapp As Perquimans Won 46-12
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Braylon Knapp stepped things up a notch to give Perquimans the 'W'. Knapp was unstoppable, throwing for 287 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.0 yards per attempt.
Knapp must have Washington County's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Knapp saw the Panthers), he threw for 425 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.1% of his passes.

Kamerin Mcdowell-Moore Turns in Another Game with at Least 105 Rushing Yards
Kamerin Mcdowell-Moore continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 105 rushing yards. He rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns.
Bertie had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Mcdowell-Moore it was a similar story. When Mcdowell-Moore last faced the Falcons back in September of 2023, he picked up 51 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown.

Maddux Thach Dazzles in Perquimans Win
The second Perquimans player making an appearance here is Maddux Thach, and for good reason. He picked up 113 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 55 yards.
This season, Thach has caught 8 touchdowns while averaging 78 receiving yards per game.

Martin County Gets a Boost from Moore in 25-0 Victory
Kel'Javious Moore's big game helped extend Martin County's winning streak to five on Friday. Gates County had no answer to Moore as he made 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss) and snagged an interception. Moore is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made nine or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Gates County's probably not too fond of Moore given he always seems to get the better of them. When Moore last faced the Red Barons back in September of 2023, he made 17 total tackles.
