TAPPS Division III District 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!
Luke Carney's Big Game Leads Dallas Christian over Shelton
Starting off the list is Dallas Christian's Luke Carney, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carney rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 180 yards and a touchdown while completing 81.8% of his passes. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
If history really does repeat itself, Carney might just drop another big game when he faces off against Covenant on Friday. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Carney saw the Knights), he threw for 207 yards and three touchdowns while completing 82.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.

Manuel Lozano Delivers Best Performance of Season
Bishop Gorman came up short on Friday despite Manuel Lozano delivering his best game to date. Lozano forced a fumble and made 17 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
This year, Lozano has averaged 9 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 40.87
All Saints Episcopal took down Bishop Gorman on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Jackson Daniels's effort. Daniels was dynamite, picking up three sacks and making 13 total tackles. All Saints Episcopal is undefeated when Daniels posts two or more sacks, but 1-3 otherwise.
All Saints Episcopal pushed their record up to 4-3 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Daniels' next contest is against McKinney Christian Academy on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Nate Mienk Makes It Two for All Saints Episcopal

For the season, Mienk has averaged 58 rushing yards per game.

This season, Muse Jr has averaged 19.9 receiving yards per game.
