5A Region 7 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!
Russellville Gets a Boost from Phinizee in 44-13 Victory
Cameron Phinizee's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his 20th-straight game with 105+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 221 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 82-yard run.
Phinizee must have West Point's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Phinizee saw the Warriors), he rushed for 230 yards and five touchdowns on only 11 carries.

Fairview's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Harper and Fairview will play host again on Friday to welcome East Limestone, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m.
