2A Region 5 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!
Wilder Jr. Made His Presence Known in Greene County's 52-32 Loss
Starting off the list is Greene County's Ronald Wilder Jr., who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wilder Jr. rushed for 192 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his ninth straight game with at least 130 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Greene County has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-4 record this season. Wilder Jr. and Greene County will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Vincent at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

A Season-Best Effort from Jayden Roberts Leads Vincent over Aliceville
On Friday, Vincent got the W thanks in part to Jayden Roberts playing the best football he has all season. Roberts rushed for 255 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.2 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (100.3) per game. Those 255 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Vincent's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Roberts and Vincent will be playing in front of their home fans against Isabella at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Preston Lancaster's Big Game Leads Tuscaloosa Academy over Lamar County
Preston Lancaster was instrumental in extending Tuscaloosa Academy's winning streak to seven on Friday. Lancaster did his part (and then some), throwing for 241 yards and five touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Lamar County's probably not too fond of Lancaster given he always seems to get the better of them. Lancaster threw for 338 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in September of 2023.

Kelvies Snoddy Makes It Two for Greene County
The second Greene County player making an appearance here is Kelvies Snoddy, and for good reason. He rushed for 70 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 137 yards while completing 80% of his passes.
On the year, Snoddy has averaged 111.1 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 6.29 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 103.43 rushing yards.
