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!
Anthony Jeffery Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Thomson's Anthony Jeffery, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jeffery rushed for 234 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.2 rushing touchdowns per game. Those 234 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Glenn Hills had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Jeffery it was a similar story. Jeffery picked up 38 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Spartans duked it out back in October of 2023.
