6A District 6 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!
Malik Holman Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is South Lake's Malik Holman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Holman made six total tackles and defended a pass, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because South Lake is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
South Lake's win ended an eight-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 3-3. It'll be Battle of the Birds when Eagles takes on Horizon at 6:00 p.m. on Monday.
Gamescore: 50.53
Walker Came Up Big in South Lake's 38-27 Victory
Another South Lake player making an appearance on this list is Marcel Walker. He picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made six total tackles and defended four passes.
On the season, Walker has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 55.8 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 46.32
A Season-Best Performance from Caleb Sanford Leads Forest over South Lake
Forest came up short on Friday despite Caleb Sanford delivering his best game to date. Sanford threw for 340 yards on 22 of 36 attempts, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
Forest dropped their record down to 1-5 with the loss, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season. Sanford will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Lake Minneola on Friday.

Another Forest player making an appearance on this list is Oisin Cullen. He picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made 13 total tackles.
