AAA Region 1 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!
Robinson Made His Presence Known in Walhalla's 49-7 Win
Starting off the list is Walhalla's Landon Robinson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Robinson rushed for 162 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If the past is any indication, Robinson could be in store for another big game when he takes on West-Oak on Friday. Robinson rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.

Marquise Henderson Goes Supernova in Belton-Honea Path Win
Marquise Henderson's big game helped extend Belton-Honea Path's winning streak to four on Friday. Henderson did his part (and then some), rushing for 104 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, while also picking up 37 receiving yards for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 104 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Belton-Honea Path pushed their record up to 7-1 with the victory, which was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season. Henderson and Belton-Honea Path will square off against Pendleton at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Silas Parish Makes It Two for Walhalla

On the season, Parish has averaged 11.9 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.29 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 31.29 receiving yards.
