AAA Region 1 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!
David Burgess Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Dougherty had to settle for second even though David Burgess put up the best numbers he has all season. Burgess threw for 327 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Dougherty's defeat was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-6. They and Westover are set to duel on Friday.

Duncan Jr Posts Huge Game in 43-35 Win
Cairo picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Bryian Duncan Jr. Duncan Jr turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 169 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.0 yards per carry.
Duncan Jr and Cairo will head out to challenge Peach County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Duncan Jr up against the Trojans' star wideout Cam Cherry. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
