4A District 3 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!
Ford Posts Huge Game in 62-35 Win
Starting off the list is Leesville's Xavier Ford, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ford rushed for 306 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 74 yards.
DeRidder had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Ford it was a similar story. Ford rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.6 yards per carry the last time he and the Dragons duked it out back in October of 2023.
