Pocket - Big School Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Jett Goldsberry Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jett Goldsberry was instrumental in extending Heritage Hills's winning streak to six on Friday. Goldsberry made a major impact, rushing for 147 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, while also throwing for 53 yards and a touchdown. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.8). He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 62 yards.
Goldsberry might have his next game, a home matchup with Gibson Southern, circled on his calendar. When Goldsberry last faced the Titans two weeks ago, he rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 77 yards and a touchdown on only five passes.

Lesure Came Up Big in Washington's 35-18 Defeat
Washington was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Xavion Lesure did his best to prevent it. Lesure turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 38 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 70 yards.
Lesure and Washington will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Boonville at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th. The Hatchets had to take a loss when they last met the Pioneers, but Lesure had little to do with the loss: he picked up 38 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 70 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Heritage Hills Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Hunter Meredith
Hunter Meredith was instrumental in extending Heritage Hills's winning streak to six on Friday. Meredith did his part (and then some), rushing for 102 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 61 yards.
Princeton had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Meredith it was a similar story. Meredith rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Grant Davis stepped things up a notch to give Boonville the 'W'. Davis was dynamite, rushing for 53 yards and a touchdown.
Davis and Boonville will look to defend their home field on Friday against Gibson Southern at 7:30 p.m. Davis will face off against Zach Foster, the Titans' star QB. 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.

Tyler Rinehart Dazzles in Boonville Victory
Keeping Davis company is Tyler Rinehart, a fellow Boonville player. He rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries.
Rinehart and Boonville will be playing in front of their home fans against Gibson Southern at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Rinehart will face off against Maddux Potts, the Titans' star pass catcher. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
