4A District 10 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!
Antonio Muniz Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Gulf had to settle for second even though Antonio Muniz put up the best numbers he has all season. Muniz rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.7 yards per carry. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in November of 2023. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 131 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for Fivay, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Muniz. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Muniz saw the Falcons), he rushed for 202 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry, and also picked up 86 receiving yards.

For the year, White has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 149.4 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 38 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 67.88 rushing yards.

Aiden Holewski Makes It Two for Gulf
The second Gulf player making an appearance here is Aiden Holewski, and for good reason. He picked up 14 receiving yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Holewski has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 49.7 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 27.71 receiving yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Jerry Drain Leads Clearwater over East Lake
Clearwater was led to victory by Jerry Drain, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Drain rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Clearwater's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
On the year, Drain has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 67.4 rushing yards per game.
