1A Northwest 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!
Luke Collins' Big Game Leads Starmount over East Wilkes
Starting off the list is Starmount's Luke Collins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Collins threw for 204 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 passes, and also rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Collins might just drop another big game when he faces off against South Stokes on Thursday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Collins saw the Sauras), he threw for 160 yards and four touchdowns while completing 87.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 34 yards.

Parker Barron Puts an End to South Stokes' Losing Streak on Friday
Thanks in part to Parker Barron, South Stokes said goodbye to their nine-game losing streak dating back to last season. Barron turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday, picking up 107 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 50 yards.
South Stokes' first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-7. Barron and South Stokes will look to defend their home field on Friday against Starmount at 7:00 p.m.

Crater Made His Presence Known in Starmount's 35-20 Victory
Another Starmount player making an appearance on this list is Kinston Crater. He picked up 68 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 58 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Crater might just drop another big game when he faces off against South Stokes on Thursday. Crater rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries the last time he and the Sauras duked it out back in October of 2023.
