AAAA Region 2 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!
Aj Tillman Jr Delivers Electric Performance Vs Locust Grove
Starting off the list is McDonough's Aj Tillman Jr, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tillman Jr rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also caught a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 73-yard run.
McDonough is on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Tillman Jr and McDonough will take on Eagle's Landing Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Edmonds Made His Presence Known in Jones County's 42-14 Victory
Devin Edmonds was a major factor in Jones County's victory over Eagle's Landing Christian Academy on Friday. Eagle's Landing Christian Academy had no answer to Edmonds as he threw for 258 yards and five touchdowns while completing 79.2% of his passes.
Edmonds and Jones County will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Eagle's Landing at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. The Greyhounds got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Edmonds had a solid game then too: he threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns on only 19 passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
