4A-2 Region III District 12 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!
Bryson Roland Dazzles in La Vega Win
Bryson Roland's big game helped extend La Vega's winning streak to six on Friday. Roland was unstoppable, rushing for 152 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 67 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If the past is any indication, Roland could be in store for another big game when he takes on West Orange-Stark on Friday. Back in September (the last time Roland saw the Mustangs), he rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns.

Big Game from Smith As Gatesville Won 45-28
Rayshon Smith was a major factor in Gatesville's victory over Madisonville on Friday. Madisonville had no answer to Smith as he rushed for 164 yards and four touchdowns.
Unfortunately for Madisonville, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Smith. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Smith saw the Mustangs), he rushed for 200 yards.

A Season-Best Effort from Brice Mccurdy Leads Robinson over Sealy
Sadly, Brice Mccurdy posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Robinson over Sealy on Friday. Mccurdy threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.9 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 59 yards. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August.
This season, Mccurdy has thrown 17 touchdowns while averaging 183.3 passing yards per game.

Jabarie Thornton Turns in Season-Best Effort
Jabarie Thornton produced his most outstanding game to date while leading La Vega to the win on Friday. Thornton picked up 190 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 67 yards.
Thornton and La Vega are on the road again on Friday to play West Orange-Stark at 7:30 p.m. The Pirates had to take a loss when they last met the Mustangs, but Thornton had little to do with the loss: he picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 37.42
Robinson Gets a Boost from Moreno in 63-34 Loss
The second Robinson player making an appearance here is Evan Moreno, and for good reason. He rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 101 rushing yards.
For the year, Moreno has averaged 13 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after 11 games last season, he was only averaging 2.82 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 158.45 rushing yards.
