AAAAA Region 4 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!
Aaron (Aj) Brand Jr.'s Big Game Leads Irmo over River Bluff
Aaron (Aj) Brand Jr. was instrumental in extending Irmo's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Brand Jr. as he rushed for 210 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.7 yards per carry, and also threw for 120 yards while completing 75% of his passes. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
River Bluff's probably not too fond of Brand Jr. given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Brand Jr. saw the Gators), he threw for 204 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.3% of his passes, and also rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Performance from Aaron Griffin Leads River Bluff over Irmo
River Bluff came up short on Friday despite Aaron Griffin delivering his best game to date. Griffin rushed for 178 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If the past is any indication, Griffin could be in store for another big game when he takes on Chapin on Friday. Griffin picked up 114 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.
