Cantrell Eubanks' Big Game Leads Riverside Prep over the Webb Schools
Starting off the list is Riverside Prep's Cantrell Eubanks, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Eubanks rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 91 receiving yards and a touchdown. Eubanks is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 158 every time he's taken the field this season.
Riverside Prep's victory ended a seven-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-7. Eubanks and Riverside Prep will venture away from home to challenge Trinity Classical Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.
