Malaki Cary Delivers Electric Performance Vs Hollow Rock-Bruceton Central
Starting off the list is Houston County's Malaki Cary, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cary rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest reception was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
Unfortunately for Hollow Rock-Bruceton Central, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Cary. Cary rushed for 187 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in September of 2023.

A Season-Best Effort from Robert Kizer Leads Houston County over Hollow Rock-Bruceton Central
Robert Kizer produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Houston County to the win on Friday. Kizer threw for 148 yards and two touchdowns on only ten passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Kizer's next matchup is against McKenzie on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. Kizer will face off against Tate Surber on Friday, the Rebels' star quarterback.
