TAPPS Division I District 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!
Will Estes Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Bishop Lynch's Will Estes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Estes' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 150 rushing yards. He also rushed for 179 rushing yards, which is notable because Bishop Lynch is 3-1 when he posts at least 100 rushing yards, but 3-4 otherwise.
Bishop Lynch now has a winning record of 6-5. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face Liberty Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Parish Episcopal Gets a Boost from Anderson in 76-27 Win
Sawyer Anderson continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 11th-straight game with at least three passing touchdowns. He threw for 436 yards and six touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes.
If history really does repeat itself, Anderson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Prestonwood Christian on Friday. Anderson threw for 517 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 16.2 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 54 yards the last time he and the Lions duked it out back in October.

Luke Lawrence Dazzles in Legacy Christian Academy Victory

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.
