Woodmont Gets a Boost from Belcher in 49-21 Loss
Starting off the list is Woodmont's Ezekiel Belcher, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Belcher rushed for 224 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 118 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Woodmont is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-4. Belcher and Woodmont will challenge Greenwood at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Gamescore: 48.40
While Easley might've come up empty on Friday, Aaron Tolbert wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Tolbert as he made a tackle.
Easley dropped their record down to 1-4 with the loss, which was their third straight at home. Tolbert and Easley will head out to square off against Hillcrest at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.

J.L. Mann Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Ladainnian Martin
Ladainnian Martin's big game helped extend J.L. Mann's winning streak to three on Saturday. Hillcrest had no answer to Martin as he rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 66 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Martin has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 28 receiving yards per game.

Na'cyus Morrison Makes It Two for J.L. Mann
Keeping Martin company is Na'Cyus Morrison, a fellow J.L. Mann player. He rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Morrison might just drop another big game when he faces off against T.L. Hanna on Friday. When Morrison last faced the Yellow Jackets back in October of 2023, he rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
