5A District 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!
Sam Houston Gets a Boost from Bailey in 46-21 Defeat
Starting off the list is Sam Houston's Drew Bailey, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bailey rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Bailey might just drop another big game when he faces off against Carencro on Friday. Bailey rushed for 229 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.5 yards per carry the last time he and the Bears duked it out back in October of 2023.

With the win, Sulphur broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 3-3. DePriest and Sulphur will challenge Southside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Tyler Joubert Makes It Two for Sulphur

Keaton Sonnier Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
Keaton Sonnier continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his ninth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He made 13 total tackles.
Sonnier must have Southside's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Sonnier saw the Sharks), he forced a fumble and made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss).

A Constellation of Stars for Sam Houston
Another Sam Houston player making an appearance on this list is Cameron Mayo. He made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss). He is becoming a predictor of Sam Houston's success: when he posts at least three total tackles the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
On the year, Mayo has averaged 3.8 total tackles per game.
