Christian (8 Man) 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!
Ty Jones Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Russell Christian Academy got the W thanks in part to Ty Jones playing the best football he has all season. Jones' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his 13th straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
Victory Christian's probably not too fond of Jones given he always seems to get the better of them. Jones rushed for 247 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 87 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.

Tuscaloosa Christian Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Jackson Harris
Tuscaloosa Christian picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jackson Harris. Harris did his part (and then some), picking up 46 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground for the 'W'.
This season, Harris has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 56.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had five rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 13.
