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!
Ford Posts Huge Game in 33-26 Loss
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 challenges Augusta Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Hammond Wins 17th-Straight Thanks to Immanuel Johnson
Immanuel Johnson was instrumental in extending Hammond's winning streak to 17 on Friday. Johnson turned in his biggest game of the season, rushing 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 challenge Northwood Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 48.88
Jammall Fludd's big game helped extend 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 is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Cardinal Newman on Thursday. Fludd rushed for 225 yards and four touchdowns the last time he and the Cardinals duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 38.50
Austin Huff Delivers Best Performance of Season
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 contest was his third straight with five or more total tackles.
The victory snapped Ben Lippen's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-3 record. Huff and Ben Lippen will take on Laurence Manning Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 34.00
Tony Brown Makes It Two for Porter-Gaud
The second Porter-Gaud player making an appearance here is Tony Brown, and for good reason. 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 also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making eight total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending 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 Cyclones got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Cardinals, probably because Brown had a solid game then too: he picked up a sack and made ten total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
