John Robert Walker Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Tiftarea Academy's John Robert Walker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Walker wasn't messing around on Friday, throwing for 233 yards and four touchdowns on only 16 passes, while also rushing for 106 yards and two touchdowns. The match was his sixth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Tiftarea Academy's win was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Walker and Tiftarea Academy are taking a road trip to square off against Brookwood at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Snellgrove Made His Presence Known in Valwood's 42-6 Victory
Tayt Snellgrove was a major factor in Valwood's victory over Terrell Academy on Friday. Snellgrove did his part (and then some), throwing for 161 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes, while also rushing for 42 yards for the 'W'.
Snellgrove and Valwood are taking a road trip to take on Deerfield-Windsor at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Snellgrove took on the Knights, he rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 35.23
While Deerfield-Windsor might've come up empty on Friday, Cole Jones wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Jones was still balling out as he made ten total tackles.
On the year, Jones has averaged 2.9 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he had seven rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 15.
Gamescore: 29.95
Gabe Daniel Makes It Two for Deerfield-Windsor
Keeping Jones company is Gabe Daniel, a fellow Deerfield-Windsor player. He picked up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
On the season, Daniel has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 81.8 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 28.5 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 29.30
John Jackson Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Tiftarea Academy got the W thanks in part to John Jackson playing the best football he has all season. Jackson picked up 143 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Jackson and Tiftarea Academy will head out on the road to face off against Brookwood at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Jackson will face off against Seth Boggs, the Warriors' star pass catcher. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
