3A/4A Queen City Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ralph (Trey) Blakeney Delivers Electric Effort Vs West Charlotte
Ralph (Trey) Blakeney was instrumental in extending Hough's winning streak to six on Thursday. Blakeney did his part (and then some), throwing for 178 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 47 yards for the 'W'. Those 47 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
This season, Blakeney has thrown 22 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 221.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 26.71 rushing yards.

Zierre Brooks Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, Chambers got the W thanks in part to Zierre Brooks playing the best football he has all season. Brooks rushed for 201 yards while picking up 11.2 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 67 yards.
This year, Brooks has averaged 96.4 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 4.71 rushing yards per game.

Malik Dalton's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
