AAA Region 1 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!
Silas Parish's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Walhalla's Silas Parish, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Parish made three total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest reception was for an incredible 81 yards.
Parish and Walhalla will face off against Belton-Honea Path at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Parish took on the Bears, he forced a fumble and made 18 total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Marquise Henderson Delivers Electric Performance Vs Pendleton
Marquise Henderson was instrumental in extending Belton-Honea Path's winning streak to five on Friday. Henderson was unstoppable, rushing for 171 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries. His longest rush was for an incredible 78 yards.
Henderson might have his next game, a road matchup with Walhalla, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Henderson saw the Razorbacks), he rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.

Tajeh Watson-Martin Makes It Three for Belton-Honea Path
Another Belton-Honea Path player making an appearance on this list is Tajeh Watson-Martin. He picked up a sack and made a tackle. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 51 yards.
Gamescore: 25.42
The second Walhalla player making an appearance here is Landon Robinson, and for good reason. He rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Robinson must have West-Oak's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Robinson last faced the Warriors back in October of 2023, he rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry.
