1A/2A Four Rivers 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Kamerin Mcdowell-Moore Leads Tarboro over Martin County
On Friday, Tarboro got the W thanks in part to Kamerin McDowell-Moore playing the best football he has all season. McDowell-Moore rushed for 226 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 14.1 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (109.2). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
McDowell-Moore is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Gates County on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time McDowell-Moore saw the Red Barons), he rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.

Tyler Powell Makes It Two for Tarboro
Another Tarboro player making an appearance on this list is Tyler Powell. He punched in a rushing score.
This year, Powell has averaged 6 total tackles per game and for the season has 14 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to two.
