WPIAL AAAA Big Six 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!
Antwan Black Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Laurel Highlands's Antwan Black, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Black rushed for 138 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.1 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Laurel Highlands has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Black's next contest is against Belle Vernon on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Thomas Jefferson Gets a Boost from Eber in 27-7 Victory
Thomas Jefferson picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Tyler Eber. Eber turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 146 yards and three touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 103 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Eber and Thomas Jefferson will head out to square off against Ringgold at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Jaguars got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Rams, probably because Eber had a solid game then too: he rushed for 65 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Brayden White and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Thomas Jefferson picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Brayden White. Trinity had no answer to White as he picked up 131 receiving yards and a touchdown. White's receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 100 receiving yards dating back to last season.
For the season, White has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 106.7 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had three receiving touchdowns.
