A D2 Region 7 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!
Greenville Gets a Boost from Richardson in 43-12 Loss
Starting off the list is Greenville's Antavious Richardson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Richardson rushed for 119 yards on only nine carries, and also threw for 141 yards while completing 78.6% of his passes. Richardson is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 100 every time he's taken the field this season.
Greenville has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Richardson's next matchup is against Bowdon on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Smith Came Up Big in Trion's 43-12 Victory
Trion found a leader in Kade Smith as the squad took down Greenville on Friday. Greenville had no answer to Smith as he threw for 251 yards and five touchdowns on only 17 passes.
Trion's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-1. Smith and Trion will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bowdon at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.
