6A Region 4 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!
Jordan Stapleton's Big Game Can't Quite Lead West Harrison over Hancock
Starting off the list is West Harrison's Jordan Stapleton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Stapleton rushed for 209 yards and a touchdown while picking up 11.0 yards per carry, and also picked up 40 receiving yards. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August of 2023.
West Harrison moved to 4-2 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak. Stapleton and West Harrison will square off against Picayune at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Knight Made His Presence Known in George County's 48-13 Victory
George County found a leader in Deuce Knight as the team took down Long Beach on Friday. Long Beach had no answer to Knight as he threw for 219 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score.
Long Beach's probably not too fond of Knight given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Knight saw the Bearcats), he threw for 134 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

Montrell Dortch Makes It Two for George County
Keeping Knight company is Montrell Dortch, a fellow George County player. He picked up 53 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
This year, Dortch has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 52.6 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 12.71 rushing yards.

Jazear Carter Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
The second West Harrison player making an appearance here is Jazear Carter, and for good reason. He made 13 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass. He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
For the year, Carter has averaged 8.7 total tackles per game.
