4A DC 6 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Josh Roberson Leads Chapel Hill over Riverside-Durham
Josh Roberson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Chapel Hill to the win on Thursday. Roberson rushed for 133 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries.
Riverside-Durham's probably not too fond of Roberson given he always seems to get the better of them. Roberson rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Pirates duked it out back in October of 2023.

Tyler Jackson Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Thursday, Chapel Hill got the W thanks in part to Tyler Jackson playing the best football he has all season. Jackson rushed for 164 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
If the past is any indication, Jackson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Northern Durham on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jackson saw the Knights), he rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Blue Came Up Big in Jordan's 56-0 Victory
Amareon Blue was a major factor in Jordan's victory over East Chapel Hill on Thursday. Blue turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 90 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 45 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If the past is any indication, Blue could be in store for another big game when he takes on Riverside-Durham on Friday. When Blue last faced the Pirates back in October of 2023, he rushed for 154 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries.

Jamarion Ross' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Riverside-Durham over Chapel Hill
Riverside-Durham was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Jamarion Ross did his best to prevent it. Chapel Hill had no answer to Ross as he rushed for 155 yards on only 15 carries, and also picked up 34 receiving yards and a touchdown.
This season, Ross has averaged 202.2 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 76.8 rushing yards per game.
