TAPPS Division III 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!
Luke Carney Dazzles in Dallas Christian Victory
Starting off the list is Dallas Christian's Luke Carney, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carney rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 180 yards and a touchdown while completing 81.8% of his passes. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
If the past is any indication, Carney could be in store for another big game when he takes on Covenant on Friday. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Carney saw the Knights), he threw for 207 yards and three touchdowns while completing 82.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.

Manuel Lozano Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Manuel Lozano posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Bishop Gorman over All Saints Episcopal on Friday. Lozano forced a fumble and made 17 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
This is the second loss in a row for Bishop Gorman and nudges their season record down to 2-5. Lozano and Bishop Gorman will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Covenant at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

All Saints Episcopal found a leader in Jackson Daniels as the team took down Bishop Gorman on Friday. Daniels was unstoppable, picking up three sacks and making 13 total tackles. All Saints Episcopal is undefeated when Daniels posts two or more sacks, but 1-3 otherwise.
All Saints Episcopal's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 4-3. Daniels and All Saints Episcopal will face off against McKinney Christian Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
