6A Region 1 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!
Kj Lacey Turns in Season-Best Performance
Saraland was led to victory by Kj Lacey, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Lacey threw for 233 yards and six touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes. The effort also marked the most rushing yards (16) he has had since back in September of 2023.
Lacey will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Theodore on Friday. The Spartans got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bobcats, probably because Lacey had a solid game then too: he threw for 231 yards and three touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Kolin Wilson Dazzles in Gulf Shores Defeat
While Kolin Wilson delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Gulf Shores. Wilson turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 162 yards and two touchdowns.
Gulf Shores is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-6. Wilson and Gulf Shores will head out to challenge Baldwin County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Landon Everett Turns in Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles
Landon Everett continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 19th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least six total tackles. He made 16 total tackles (4.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
On the year, Everett has averaged 18 total tackles per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 9.5 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 31.25
Blount's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to La?Zeric Johnson
La?Zeric Johnson helped snap Blount's three-game losing streak. Johnson did his part (and then some), rushing for 102 yards for the 'W'.
On the year, Johnson has averaged 56.6 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 28.73
Crishon Overton Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Theodore got the W thanks in part to Crishon Overton playing the best football he has all season. Overton rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, and also threw for 41 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The win (which was Theodore's third in a row) raised their record to 4-4. Overton will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Saraland on Friday.
