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!
Josh Roberson Turns in Season-Best Performance
Chapel Hill was led to victory by Josh Roberson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Roberson rushed for 133 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries.
Riverside-Durham had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Roberson it was a similar story. Roberson rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Pirates duked it out back in October of 2023.

Tyler Jackson Has Career-Day on Thursday
Tyler Jackson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Chapel Hill to the win on Thursday. Jackson rushed for 164 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
If the past is any indication, Jackson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Northern Durham on Friday. When Jackson last faced the Knights back in October of 2023, he rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Blue Made His Presence Known in Jordan's 56-0 Win
Jordan found a leader in Amareon Blue as the team took down East Chapel Hill on Thursday. Blue turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 90 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 45 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Blue might just drop another big game when he faces off against Riverside-Durham on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Blue saw the Pirates), he rushed for 154 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries.

Jamarion Ross Delivers Electric Performance Vs Chapel Hill
Riverside-Durham had to settle for second on Thursday, but Jamarion Ross sure wasn't going down easily. Ross turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 155 yards on only 15 carries, while also picking up 34 receiving yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Ross has averaged 202.2 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 76.8 rushing yards per game.

Christian Cook Rounds Out Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Christian Cook of Hillside. Cook rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.
