Matthew Sloan Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is East Hickman County's Matthew Sloan, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Sloan's rushing production has been exceptional for a while as that marked his ninth straight game with at least 119 rushing yards dating back to last season.
The victory (which was East Hickman County's fourth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Sloan and East Hickman County will welcome Harpeth at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Drew Ray's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Things weren't looking good for Lewis County heading into Friday's tilt with Zion Christian Academy(they were ranked 174 places lower in Tennessee), but Drew Ray wasn't phased. On Friday Ray rushed for 143 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Lewis County is undefeated when Ray posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
The victory (which was Lewis County's third in a row) raised their record to 5-3. Ray and Lewis County will challenge Summertown at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
