1A Carolina 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 Carell Phillips Leads North Duplin over Lakewood
North Duplin was led to victory by Carell Phillips, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Phillips rushed for 252 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
North Duplin and Union are set to duel on Friday. The Rebels got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Spartans, probably because Phillips had a solid game then too: he rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Tobias Cromartie Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Tobias Cromartie posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Union over Rosewood on Friday. Cromartie rushed for 193 yards and three touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 66 yards.
Union is on a 12-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. They and North Duplin are set to duel on Friday.

Rosewood Gets a Boost from Collins in 46-18 Victory
Talan Collins's big game helped extend Rosewood's winning streak to three on Friday. Collins was dynamite, picking up 98 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Rosewood is undefeated when Collins posts two or more receiving touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Rosewood's victory bumped their record up to 5-3. Collins and Rosewood will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against North Duplin at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Dontavius Smith Delivers Best Effort of Season
Lakewood came up short on Friday despite Dontavius Smith delivering his best game to date. Smith picked up 114 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 73 yards.
Lakewood's loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 5-3. Smith's next game is against Hobbton on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
