4A Northern 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!
Braden Atkinson's Big Game Leads Rolesville over Millbrook
Starting off the list is Rolesville's Braden Atkinson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Atkinson threw for 325 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
Atkinson must have Millbrook'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 Atkinson saw the Wildcats), he threw for 418 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.

Ladainian Person Turns in Season-Best Effort
LaDainian Person produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Heritage to the win on Friday. Person rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns.
With the victory, Heritage broke their eight-game losing streak and moved their record to 1-6. Person will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Wake Forest on Friday.
Gamescore: 31.87
Another Game with at Least Two Sacks from Rashad Streets
Sadly, Rashad Streets posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Millbrook over Rolesville on Friday. Streets wasn't messing around, picking up 2.5 sacks and making 15 total tackles. The match was his fifth straight with two or more sacks.
With the loss, Millbrook broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-1. Streets and Millbrook will welcome Wakefield at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 30.75
Big Game from Cypher As Millbrook Fell 35-0
Quinton Cypher continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 19th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least eight total tackles. He made 18 total tackles (2.0 for loss) and snagged an interception.
If history really does repeat itself, Cypher might just drop another big game when he faces off against Wakefield on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Cypher saw the Wolverines), he picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
