SCISA 4A Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Big Game from Ford As Cardinal Newman Fell 33-26
Starting off the list is Cardinal Newman's Caleb Ford, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ford rushed for 301 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 115 rushing yards.
Cardinal Newman is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals takes on Augusta Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Immanuel Johnson and Co. Win 17th in a Row
Hammond picked up their 17th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Immanuel Johnson. Johnson produced his best game of the campaign : he rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry.
Hammond's win was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Johnson and Hammond will take on Northwood Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 48.88
Jammall Fludd was instrumental in extending Porter-Gaud's winning streak to four on Friday. Fludd did his part (and then some), rushing for 77 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
Fludd might have his next game, a road matchup with Cardinal Newman, circled on his calendar. When Fludd last faced the Cardinals back in October of 2023, he rushed for 225 yards and four touchdowns.

Austin Huff Turns in Season-Best Effort
Austin Huff produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Ben Lippen to the win on Thursday. Huff wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, making seven total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The matchup was his third straight with five or more total tackles.
With the win, Ben Lippen broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 3-3. Huff and Ben Lippen will look to defend their home field on Friday against Laurence Manning Academy at 7:30 p.m.

Tony Brown Makes It Two for Porter-Gaud
Another Porter-Gaud player making an appearance on this list is Tony Brown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season. He didn't just play on offense: he also made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.
Brown and Porter-Gaud will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Cardinal Newman at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. The last time Brown took on the Cardinals, he picked up a sack and made ten total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
