Starting off the list is Community Christian's Hayden Yelverton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Yelverton rushed for 255 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 11.1 yards per carry. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
On the year, Yelverton has averaged 25.1 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had ten rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 24.

Underclassman Tristan Knight Major Player in Hill County Victory
It was an underclassman who stole the show on Saturday as Tristan Knight came into the game on a mission. He was unstoppable, rushing for 157 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.
Knight must have Big Springs Charter's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Knight rushed for 134 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 91 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the BSCS Hawks duked it out back in October of 2023.
