AA Region 4 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!
Jonathan Clarkson Goes Supernova in North Central Victory
Starting off the list is North Central's Jonathan Clarkson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Clarkson rushed for 252 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. He has become a key player for North Central: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
North Central moved to 3-3 with that win, which also ended their three-game losing streak. Clarkson and North Central will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Cheraw at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

Cam Mcclendon Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Cheraw got the W thanks in part to Cam McClendon playing the best football he has all season. McClendon rushed for 224 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Cheraw: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
For the year, McClendon has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 123.2 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had four rushing touchdowns.

Tray Wilson Turns in Season-Best Performance
Central was led to victory by Tray Wilson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Wilson picked up 160 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a rushing score. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 85 yards.
If the past is any indication, Wilson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Cheraw on Friday. When Wilson last faced the Braves back in October of 2023, he rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.
