7A Central 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!
Pulaski Academy Gets a Boost from Cobb in 48-29 Loss
Starting off the list is Pulaski Academy's Brandon Cobb, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cobb threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
With the defeat, Pulaski Academy broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 5-1. Cobb will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Cabot on Friday.

Bryant pushed their record up to 6-0 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season. Walker and Bryant will face off against Little Rock Southwest at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Myron Thrash Jr Leads Bryant over Pulaski Academy
Myron Thrash Jr produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Bryant to the win on Friday. Thrash Jr rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
If history really does repeat itself, Thrash Jr might just drop another big game when he faces off against Little Rock Southwest on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Thrash Jr saw the Gryphons), he rushed for 226 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, and also picked up 76 receiving yards and a touchdown.

For the year, Svoboda has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 52.7 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two receiving touchdowns.
