AAAAA Region 2 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!
Jaylen Johnson's Big Game Leads Thomas County Central over Northside
Starting off the list is Thomas County Central's Jaylen Johnson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Johnson threw for 231 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
This year, Johnson has thrown 19 touchdowns while averaging 217.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 60.34 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 125.96 passer rating.

Lee County Gets a Boost from Kromah in 67-10 Victory
Ousmane Kromah was instrumental in extending Lee County's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Kromah as he picked up 96 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Unfortunately for Veterans, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Kromah. Kromah rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 54 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Warhawks duked it out back in October of 2023.
