1A Region 2 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Rayshon Coleman's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Florala's Rayshon Coleman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Coleman rushed for 221 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making 25 total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
The victory was the third in a row for Florala, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats faces off against Red Level at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Quay Jackson Dazzles in Mckenzie Victory
McKenzie picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Quay Jackson. Jackson was unstoppable, throwing for 301 yards and five touchdowns while completing 93.3% of his passes, and also rushing for 45 yards and a touchdown.
Jackson and McKenzie will look to defend their home field on Friday against Brantley at 7:00 p.m. The Tigers had to take a loss when they last met the Bulldogs, but Jackson had little to do with the loss: he picked up 94 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Adkins Came Up Big in Elba's 56-8 Victory
Cayden Adkins was instrumental in extending Elba's winning streak to five on Thursday. Adkins was dynamite, picking up a sack and making 16 total tackles (5.0 for loss). He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 61 yards.
Adkins might have his next game, a home matchup with Georgiana, circled on his calendar. Adkins made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jacob Ledbetter Makes It Two for Elba
Another Elba player making an appearance on this list is Jacob Ledbetter. He made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defended a pass. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Tigers challenges Georgiana at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Ledbetter took on the Panthers, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made three total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Alvin Henderson
Alvin Henderson continued his hot streak on Thursday by dropping his 22nd-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
Henderson might have his next game, a home matchup with Georgiana, circled on his calendar. When Henderson last faced the Panthers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 226 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.3 yards per carry.
