5A-1 Region III District 10 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from David Baines Leads Westbury over Spring Woods
David Baines produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Westbury to the win on Friday. Baines rushed for 178 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also threw for 196 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the year, Baines has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 70.9 passing yards per game. 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 six.
Gamescore: 62.02
Kevion West Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Kevion West posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he posted at least 101 rushing yards in the fifth games prior. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 53 yards.
The win was the fifth in a row for Waltrip, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. West and Waltrip will be playing in front of their home fans against Westbury at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Jeremiah Shelley Turns in Season-Best Performance
