A pair of newcomers join this week's National Player of the Year Watch as Devante "Speedy" Noil of Karr (New Orleans) and Dorian Carter of Beech (Hendersonville, Tenn.) join the usual list of suspects.
Noil accounted for four touchdowns in a
Louisiana showdown between Karr and St. Augustine while Carter has taken over for an ailing All-American at Beech.

Grier accounted for at least seven touchdowns for the fourth straight week, throwing five touchdown passes and rushing for two more in a 64-14 win over Harrells Christian Academy. Grier threw for 422 yards (30 of 40 passing), which is actually almost 400 yards less than he threw in a single game against Harrells Christian Academy last year. Grier also had his best rushing performance of the season with 201 yards on the ground. For the season, Grier has completed 88 of 127 passes for 1,448 yards and a nation-leading 25 touchdown passes. He has also rushed for 465 yards on just 29 carries with four touchdowns.
