AAA Region 2 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!
Caleb Hill Dazzles in Sandy Creek Victory
Starting off the list is Sandy Creek's Caleb Hill, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hill threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.
Hill and Sandy Creek will square off against LaGrange at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Hill took on the Grangers, he rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 127 yards and a touchdown while completing 78.6% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Big Game from Render-Fannin As Lagrange Won 48-6
Malachi Render-Fannin continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his seventh-straight game with at least 109 rushing yards. He rushed for 201 yards while picking up 11.8 yards per carry.
Render-Fannin and LaGrange will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Sandy Creek at 7:00 p.m. The Grangers had to take a loss when they last met the Patriots, but Render-Fannin had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 85 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Upson-Lee pushed their record up to 8-3 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. They and North Hall are set to duel on Friday.
