Woodmont Gets a Boost from Belcher in 49-21 Defeat
Starting off the list is Woodmont's Ezekiel Belcher, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Belcher rushed for 224 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 118 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Woodmont is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-4. Belcher and Woodmont will challenge Greenwood at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Easley was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Aaron Tolbert did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Tolbert as he made a tackle.
Easley's defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 1-4. Tolbert and Easley will head out to face off against Hillcrest at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Na'cyus Morrison Makes It Two for J.L. Mann
Keeping Martin company is Na'Cyus Morrison, a fellow J.L. Mann player. He rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns.
If the past is any indication, Morrison could be in store for another big game when he takes on T.L. Hanna on Friday. Morrison rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries the last time he and the Yellow Jackets duked it out back in October of 2023.
