2A Eastern Plains 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!
DJ Davis' Big Game Leads West Craven over Farmville Central
Starting off the list is West Craven's DJ Davis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Davis rushed for 123 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
West Craven moved to 3-4 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Davis and West Craven will venture away from home to square off against Greene Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Keondrick Melton's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his sixth-straight game with 104+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns.
Washington's loss was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 3-4. Melton and Washington will face off against North Pitt at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Farmville Central Gets a Boost from Able in 45-18 Loss
While Farmville Central might've come up empty on Friday, Elijah Able wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Able was still balling out as he rushed for 173 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 62 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Able might just drop another big game when he faces off against Greene Central on Friday. Able rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Rams duked it out back in October of 2023.

Malik Brown Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, West Craven got the W thanks in part to Malik Brown playing the best football he has all season. Brown rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Brown might have his next game, a home matchup with Greene Central, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Brown saw the Rams), he rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also picked up 58 receiving yards.

Josh Cetner produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Greene Central to the win on Friday. Cetner threw for 206 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown.
Greene Central moved to 4-4 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Cetner's next match is against West Craven on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
