3A/4A Big Carolina 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!
Demon June Delivers Best Performance of Season
Jacksonville was led to victory by Demon June, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. June rushed for 407 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 17.7 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
June must have D.H. Conley's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time June saw the Vikings), he rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.

Crisean Williams Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
D.H. Conley came up short on Friday despite Crisean Williams delivering his best game to date. Williams rushed for 202 yards and four touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for D.H. Conley: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
This season, Williams has run in 12 touchdowns while averaging 92.6 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 8.25 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 52.80
On Friday, Jacksonville got the W thanks in part to Eric Griffin playing the best football he has all season. Griffin rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Griffin has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 93.2 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 19.33 rushing yards per game.
