GAPPS AA 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!
Bear Statham Has Career Rushing Day
Starting off the list is Cherokee Christian's Bear Statham, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Statham rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The win (which was Cherokee Christian's third in a row) raised their record to 4-5. Statham and Cherokee Christian will play host again on Friday to welcome Creekside Christian Academy, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:30 p.m.

Mikey Statham Makes It Two for Cherokee Christian
Keeping Statham company is Mikey Statham, a fellow Cherokee Christian player. He made 12 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass. He also hauled in two receiving touchdowns, which is notable because Cherokee Christian is 3-1 when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
This season, Statham has averaged 9.3 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two receiving touchdowns. This year he is already up to eight.

A Constellation of Stars for Cherokee Christian
Another Cherokee Christian player making an appearance on this list is Jayben Meder. He picked up 83 receiving yards.
On the year, Meder has averaged 88.8 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.89 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 17.80
While Creekside Christian Academy might've come up empty on Friday, Ian Wright wasn't going down without a fight. Wright was dynamite, making ten total tackles.
This season, Wright has averaged 9.6 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.1 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 56 rushing yards.
