1A District 1 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!
Caden "6" Collier Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is St. John Paul II's Caden "6" Collier, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday "6" Collier picked up 145 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for St. John Paul II: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
The victory snapped St. John Paul II's losing streak at four games and leaves them with a 2-4 record. "6" Collier and St. John Paul II are taking a road trip to face off against North Florida Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.

Gavin Ford Turns in Season-Best Performance
St. John Paul II was led to victory by Gavin Ford, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Ford threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.9 yards per attempt.
This season, Ford has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 156.7 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14.83 passing yards per game.

George Grant Delivers Electric Effort Vs St. John Paul II
Maclay had to settle for second on Friday, but George Grant sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Grant was still balling out as he rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 162 yards and a touchdown.
Grant and Maclay will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Deerfield-Windsor at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. The Marauders had to take a loss when they last met the Knights, but Grant had little to do with the loss: he threw for 252 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 64 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Kamren Mcmillan Has Career Rushing Day

FAMU DRS is on a 13-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Mcmillan and FAMU DRS will host Wewahitchka at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
