2A East Central 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!
East Duplin Gets a Boost from Davis in 54-0 Win
Starting off the list is East Duplin's Shawn Davis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Davis rushed for 86 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making three total tackles.
North Lenoir's probably not too fond of Davis given he always seems to get the better of them. Davis rushed for 121 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 32 receiving yards the last time he and the Hawks duked it out back in October of 2023.

Dwayne Davis Makes It Two for East Duplin
Keeping Davis company is Dwayne Davis, a fellow East Duplin player. He rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
For the year, Davis has run in those 1 touchdown while averaging 22.8 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 32.45
Another East Duplin player making an appearance on this list is Branson Norris. He rushed for 12 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 156 yards while completing 71.4% of his passes.

Tyreek Copper Dazzles in Kinston Defeat
While Tyreek Copper delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Kinston. Nobody could stop Copper as he picked up 79 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Copper might just drop another big game when he faces off against Wallace-Rose Hill on Friday. When Copper last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he picked up 162 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
