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 Dazzles in West Craven Win
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 continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
West Craven moved to 3-4 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Davis' next contest is against Greene Central on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Another Game with at Least 104 Rushing Yards from Keondrick Melton
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.

Elijah Able's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Farmville Central over West Craven
Farmville Central had to settle for second on Friday, but Elijah Able sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Able as he rushed for 173 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
If the past is any indication, Able could be in store for another big game when he takes on Greene Central on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Able saw the Rams), he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also caught a touchdown.

Malik Brown Turns in Season-Best Performance
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.
