1A/2A Mid-Carolina 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!
Robert Tripp Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Northwood's Robert Tripp, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tripp rushed for 126 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (100.4) per game.
Graham's probably not too fond of Tripp given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Tripp saw the Red Devils), he picked up 55 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown.

Devin Witherspoon and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Devin Witherspoon was instrumental in extending Cummings's winning streak to five on Friday. Witherspoon's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 101 rushing yards. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 56 yards.
Cummings' victory was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Witherspoon and Cummings will face off against Northwood at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Southeast Alamance Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Drew Easter
Drew Easter was instrumental in extending Southeast Alamance's winning streak to seven on Friday. Easter did his part (and then some), picking up 21 receiving yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
