4A Region 1 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!
Gabriel Holmes Dazzles in Gravette Victory
Gravette picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Gabriel Holmes. Holmes was dynamite, rushing for 120 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in three or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
Holmes must have Berryville's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Holmes saw the Bobcats), he threw for 215 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 66 yards on only five carries.
