3A District 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jamarcuz Fountain Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Jamarcuz Fountain posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Pensacola over Escambia on Friday. Fountain rushed for 207 yards on only 15 carries, and also threw for 102 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 62 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Pensacola's defeat was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 3-4. Fountain will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against St. Michael Catholic on Friday.
