TAIAO Division 3 - North (6 Man) 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!
Yelverton Posts Huge Game in 62-14 Win
Hayden Yelverton continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his tenth-straight game with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 168 yards and six touchdowns on only nine carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Hill County had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Yelverton it was a similar story. Yelverton rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries the last time he and the Wolves duked it out two weeks ago.
Gamescore: 89.00
Keith Wyatt was a major factor in Grace Classical Christian Academy's victory over Ignite E on Friday. Ignite E had no answer to Wyatt as he rushed for 120 yards and five touchdowns on only ten carries. Wyatt's longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win made it two in a row for Grace Classical Christian Academy and bumps their season record up to 3-7. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face Community Christian on Friday.
Gamescore: 57.50
Jace Little Makes It Two for Community Christian
The second Community Christian player making an appearance here is Jace Little, and for good reason. He rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also caught a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Community Christian's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 4-1 (and 3-4 when he doesn't).
For the year, Little has averaged 41.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 15.4 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 104.8 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 53.13
Another Game with at Least Three Passing Touchdowns from Parker Dehls
Another Community Christian player making an appearance on this list is Parker Dehls. He threw for 80 yards and three touchdowns on only seven passes, and also caught a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played.
On the year, Dehls has thrown 24 touchdowns while averaging 100.9 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 32.32
Panhandle Christian Home Educators' Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Carson May
Panhandle Christian Home Educators's five-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Carson May. On Friday May made four total tackles and defended a pass. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (44) he has had since back in September. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending a pass.
Panhandle Christian Home Educators' victory bumped their record up to 3-6. May and Panhandle Christian Home Educators are on the road again on Friday to play West Texas T.
