4A Region 3 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!
Owen Mclaughlin's Big Game Leads Southside over Cave City
Starting off the list is Southside's Owen McLaughlin, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. McLaughlin rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries. McLaughlin is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 113 every time he's taken the field this season.
The victory (which was Southside's fifth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. McLaughlin and Southside will head out on the road to square off against Westside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Statler Posts Huge Game in 46-16 Win
Keagan Statler's big game helped extend Highland's winning streak to four on Friday. Statler did his part (and then some), rushing for 50 yards and three touchdowns, while also picking up 53 receiving yards for the 'W'.
If history really does repeat itself, Statler might just drop another big game when he faces off against Blytheville on Friday. When Statler last faced the Chickasaws back in October of 2023, he rushed for 135 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry.
