1A/2A Southern Piedmont 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!
Lan Farmer Delivers Electric Performance Vs Highland Tech
Starting off the list is Shelby's Lan Farmer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Farmer threw for 152 yards and six touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
Farmer and Shelby will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Bessemer City at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th. Farmer will face off against Gavin Chastain, the Yellow Jackets' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Shelby Gets a Boost from Tate in 77-0 Victory
Keeping Farmer company is Tristan Tate, a fellow Shelby player. He rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 58 yards.
Tate is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Bessemer City on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Tate saw the Yellow Jackets), he rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 34 receiving yards.

Zavion Wilson Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Burns got the W thanks in part to Zavion Wilson playing the best football he has all season. Wilson rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
Burns' victory was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 4-2. Wilson and Burns will face off against Thomas Jefferson at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Goodson As Burns Won 48-0
The second Burns player making an appearance here is Elijah Goodson, and for good reason. He rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making three total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
This year, Goodson has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 60.3 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.
