Belcher Came Up Big in Woodmont's 49-21 Loss
Starting off the list is Woodmont's Ezekiel Belcher, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Belcher rushed for 224 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 118 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Woodmont is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-4. Belcher and Woodmont will challenge Greenwood at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

While Easley might've come up empty on Friday, Aaron Tolbert wasn't going down without a fight. Tolbert turned in nothing short of a gem, making a tackle.
Easley's defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 1-4. Tolbert's next match is against Hillcrest on Thursday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Na'cyus Morrison Makes It Two for J.L. Mann
Keeping Martin company is Na'Cyus Morrison, a fellow J.L. Mann player. He rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns.
Morrison is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against T.L. Hanna on Friday. When Morrison last faced the Yellow Jackets back in October of 2023, he rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
