4A-2 Region III District 12 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!
Evan Moreno's Big Game Leads Robinson over Connally
Starting off the list is Robinson's Evan Moreno, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Moreno rushed for 188 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
The win (which was Robinson's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Moreno and Robinson will welcome La Vega at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Connally Gets a Boost from Vincent in 42-29 Loss
Connally was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Jamarion Vincent did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Vincent as he threw for 178 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Vincent has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 77.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 40.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 100.29 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 32.62
Lorena took down Gatesville on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Jaxon Blancett's performance. Nobody could stop Blancett as he rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 259 yards on 19 of 30 attempts.
This year, Blancett has averaged 111.6 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 30.07
Brice Mccurdy Makes It Two for Robinson
The second Robinson player making an appearance here is Brice Mccurdy, and for good reason. He rushed for 41 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 150 yards on only nine passes.
This season, Mccurdy has averaged 162.9 passing yards per game.
