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 Performance from Josh Roberson Leads Chapel Hill over Riverside-Durham
On Thursday, Chapel Hill got the W thanks in part to Josh Roberson playing the best football he has all season. Roberson rushed for 133 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries.
Unfortunately for Riverside-Durham, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Roberson. When Roberson last faced the Pirates back in October of 2023, he rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.

Tyler Jackson Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Chapel Hill was led to victory by Tyler Jackson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. 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.
Jackson might have his next game, a home matchup with Northern Durham, circled on his calendar. 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 Win
Jordan found a leader in Amareon Blue as the team took down East Chapel Hill on Thursday. Blue was dynamite, 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. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Blue saw the Pirates), he rushed for 154 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries.
