AAA Region 1 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!
Robinson Came Up Big in Walhalla's 49-7 Win
Starting off the list is Walhalla's Landon Robinson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Robinson rushed for 162 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If the past is any indication, Robinson could be in store for another big game when he takes on West-Oak on Friday. Robinson rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.

A Season-Best Effort from Jace Grass Leads Pendleton over West-Oak
On Friday, Pendleton got the W thanks in part to Jace Grass playing the best football he has all season. Grass threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes.
Pendleton moved to 3-3 with that victory, which also ended their three-game losing streak. Grass and Pendleton will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Crescent at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.

Bray Spear Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Pendleton got the W thanks in part to Bray Spear playing the best football he has all season. Spear rushed for 57 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Pendleton's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Spear and Pendleton will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Crescent at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st. The match will pit Spear up against the Tigers' star rusher Darius Latimer. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Marquise Henderson Dazzles in Belton-Honea Path Win
Belton-Honea Path picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Marquise Henderson. Henderson was unstoppable, rushing for 104 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, while also picking up 37 receiving yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 104 rushing yards.
Henderson might have his next game, a road matchup with Walhalla, circled on his calendar. Henderson rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries the last time he and the Razorbacks duked it out back in September of 2023.

Walhalla Gets a Boost from Parish in 49-7 Victory
The second Walhalla player making an appearance here is Silas Parish, and for good reason. He made six total tackles (1.0 for loss).
On the season, Parish has averaged 11.9 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.29 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 31.29 receiving yards.
