3A 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!
Zechariah Smith Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Coahoma County's Zechariah Smith, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Smith threw for 130 yards and two touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 107 yards. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up two sacks and made nine total tackles (3.0 for loss).
This year, Smith has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 67.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 35 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 84.25 rushing yards.
