4A District 3 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!
Ford Posts Huge Game in 62-35 Win
Starting off the list is Leesville's Xavier Ford, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ford rushed for 306 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 74 yards.
DeRidder's probably not too fond of Ford given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Ford saw the Dragons), he rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.6 yards per carry.
