3A-1 Region III District 11 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Jayden Jackson Leads Franklin over Troy
On Friday, Franklin got the W thanks in part to Jayden Jackson playing the best football he has all season. Jackson rushed for 286 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 17.9 yards per carry. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in December of 2023. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Jackson must have Troy's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Jackson rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in October of 2023.
