NCISAA Big East Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Dashaun Mckoy Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Harrells Christian Academy had to settle for second even though Dashaun Mckoy put up the best numbers he has all season. Mckoy rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also picked up 34 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making 11 total tackles and defending three passes in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.
Harrells Christian Academy moved to 6-2 with that loss, which also ended their six-game winning streak. Mckoy and Harrells Christian Academy will be playing in front of their home fans against Trinity Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Davin Mccoy was a major factor in North Raleigh Christian Academy's win over Wake Christian Academy on Thursday. Mccoy did his part (and then some), making four total tackles and defending a pass for the 'W'. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending a pass.
North Raleigh Christian Academy's victory bumped their record up to 4-5. Mccoy and North Raleigh Christian Academy will take on Ravenscroft at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Brandon Williams Delivers Electric Effort Vs Harrells Christian Academy
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Brandon Williams stepped things up a notch to give Ravenscroft the 'W'. Nobody could stop Williams as he made 17 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Williams will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on North Raleigh Christian Academy on Friday. The Ravens got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Knights, probably because Williams had a solid game then too: he made 15 total tackles (1.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Ravenscroft Gets a Boost from Copeland in 38-35 Victory
Another Ravenscroft player making an appearance on this list is Bryan Copeland. He picked up 102 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Copeland might just drop another big game when he faces off against North Raleigh Christian Academy on Friday. Copeland picked up 96 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.

Elijiah Oehlke Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Trinity Christian picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Elijiah Oehlke. Oehlke was excellent, throwing for 222 yards and five touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.1 passing touchdowns per game. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for GRACE Christian, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Oehlke. Oehlke rushed for 98 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.9% of his passes the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.
