John Robert Walker Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Tiftarea Academy's John Robert Walker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Walker wasn't messing around on Friday, throwing for 233 yards and four touchdowns on only 16 passes, while also rushing for 106 yards and two touchdowns. The match was his sixth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Tiftarea Academy pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Walker and Tiftarea Academy are taking a road trip to face off against Brookwood at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Snellgrove Posts Huge Game in 42-6 Win
Tayt Snellgrove was a major factor in Valwood's win over Terrell Academy on Friday. Snellgrove was unstoppable, throwing for 161 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes, while also rushing for 42 yards.
Snellgrove and Valwood will venture away from home to take on Deerfield-Windsor at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Snellgrove took on the Knights, he rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 35.23
Deerfield-Windsor was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Cole Jones did his best to prevent it. Tiftarea Academy had no answer to Jones as he made ten total tackles.
On the season, Jones has averaged 2.9 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had seven rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 15.
Gamescore: 29.95
Gabe Daniel Makes It Two for Deerfield-Windsor
Keeping Jones company is Gabe Daniel, a fellow Deerfield-Windsor player. He picked up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
On the season, Daniel has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 81.8 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 28.5 receiving yards per game.

John Jackson Delivers Best Effort of Season
John Jackson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Tiftarea Academy to the win on Friday. Jackson picked up 143 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Jackson and Tiftarea Academy are taking a road trip to square off against Brookwood at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Jackson will face off against Seth Boggs, the Warriors' star receiver. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
