7A Region 2 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!
Williams Made His Presence Known in Central's 38-33 Defeat
Starting off the list is Central's Tristan Williams, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Williams rushed for 152 yards and three touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Central moved to 5-1 with that defeat, which also ended their 18-game winning streak. Williams and Central have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Carver Montgomery at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
