3A Region 2 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!
Kadyn Mitchell Dazzles in Houston Academy Victory
Starting off the list is Houston Academy's Kadyn Mitchell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mitchell threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played.
If history really does repeat itself, Mitchell might just drop another big game when he faces off against Northside Methodist Academy on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Mitchell saw the Knights), he threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
Gamescore: 43.60
Reid Mcbride and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Reid Mcbride was instrumental in extending Montgomery Academy's winning streak to four on Friday. Mcbride turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 229 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes. He has been hot , having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last five times he's played.

Vinson Came Up Big in Montgomery Academy's 50-12 Victory
Keeping Mcbride company is D.J. Vinson, a fellow Montgomery Academy player. He picked up 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Slocomb's probably not too fond of Vinson given he always seems to get the better of them. When Vinson last faced the Red Tops back in October of 2023, he picked up 234 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 29.42
Gabe Glover Makes It Two for Houston Academy
The second Houston Academy player making an appearance here is Gabe Glover, and for good reason. He picked up 86 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 54 yards.
