2A East 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!
Big Game from Davis As East Duplin Won 54-0
Starting off the list is East Duplin's Shawn Davis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Davis rushed for 86 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made three total tackles.
Davis must have North Lenoir's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Davis saw the Hawks), he rushed for 121 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 32 receiving yards.

Dwayne Davis Makes It Two for East Duplin
Keeping Davis company is Dwayne Davis, a fellow East Duplin player. He rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
This season, Davis has run in those 1 touchdown while averaging 22.8 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 32.45
Another East Duplin player making an appearance on this list is Branson Norris. He rushed for 12 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 156 yards while completing 71.4% of his passes.

Tyreek Copper Delivers Electric Performance Vs James Kenan
While Tyreek Copper delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Kinston. Copper was unstoppable, picking up 79 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Copper is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Wallace-Rose Hill on Friday. Copper picked up 162 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.
