Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Landon Duckworth Delivers Electric Performance Vs W.S. Neal
Jackson picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Landon Duckworth. Duckworth did his part (and then some), rushing for 94 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 257 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes for the 'W'. His longest rush was for an incredible 85 yards.
Duckworth is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Satsuma on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Duckworth saw the Gators), he threw for 228 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes.

Jackson Gets a Boost from Crowell in 48-0 Win
Jackson picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ezavier Crowell. Crowell was dynamite, rushing for 121 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, while also picking up 33 receiving yards. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 64 yards.

Underclassman Gunner Rivers Comes Up Big Against Pensacola
While Friday's victory was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman Gunner Rivers. Nobody could stop he on Friday as he threw for 360 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.

Moss Made His Presence Known in St. Michael Catholic's 38-37 Win
Another St. Michael Catholic player making an appearance on this list is Noah Moss. He rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also picked up 39 receiving yards.
