6A Region I District 2 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!
Gavin Black Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Permian got the W thanks in part to Gavin Black playing the best football he has all season. Black's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 177 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 63 yards.
The win for Permian keeps them at an undefeated 6-0. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers challenges San Angelo Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Chase Campbell Has Career Rushing Day
Frenship was led to victory by Chase Campbell, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Campbell picked up 68 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest reception was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per catch total.
Campbell and Frenship will square off against Midland Legacy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Tigers had to take a loss when they last met the Rebels, but Campbell had little to do with the loss: he picked up 144 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Another Game with at Least 122 Rushing Yards from Elijah Mccoy
Elijah McCoy continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his sixth-straight game with at least 122 rushing yards. He rushed for 215 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry.
With the loss, Midland broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 4-2. McCoy and Midland will venture away from home to take on Odessa at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 51.80
Bridges Made His Presence Known in Midland's 48-47 Loss
Keeping McCoy company is Stroman Bridges, a fellow Midland player. He rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 31 yards and a touchdown.
Frenship had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Bridges it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bridges saw the Tigers), he rushed for 209 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.
