1A District 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!
Caden "6" Collier Has Career-Day on Friday
Starting off the list is St. John Paul II's Caden "6" Collier, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday "6" Collier picked up 145 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of St. John Paul II's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
St. John Paul II moved to 2-4 with that victory, which also ended their four-game losing streak. "6" Collier and St. John Paul II will head out on the road to take on North Florida Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.

A Season-Best Effort from Gavin Ford Leads St. John Paul II over Maclay
On Friday, St. John Paul II got the W thanks in part to Gavin Ford playing the best football he has all season. Ford threw for 323 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.9 yards per attempt.
On the year, Ford has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 156.7 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 14.83 passing yards per game.

George Grant Dazzles in Maclay Loss
Maclay was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but George Grant did his best to prevent it. Grant was unstoppable, rushing for 76 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, while also throwing for 162 yards and a touchdown.
Grant and Maclay will welcome North Florida Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Marauders had to take a loss when they last met the Eagles, but Grant had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 90 yards, and also threw for 161 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Kamren Mcmillan Has Career Rushing Day
Sadly, Kamren Mcmillan posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead FAMU DRS over North Florida Christian on Friday. Mcmillan rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
FAMU DRS is on a 13-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Mcmillan and FAMU DRS will be playing at home against Wewahitchka at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

This season, Potter has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 6.5 rushing yards per game.
