6A-I 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!
Grady Adamson Delivers Electric Performance Vs Edmond North
Starting off the list is Deer Creek's Grady Adamson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Adamson threw for 236 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown.
Adamson must have Edmond North's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Adamson threw for 237 yards and three touchdowns on only 16 passes the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in August of 2023.

Braeden Presley Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Bixby got the W thanks in part to Braeden Presley playing the best football he has all season. Presley rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 55 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 62 yards.
The victory (which was Bixby's fourth in a row) raised their record to 4-1. Presley and Bixby will take on Edmond North on Friday.

Carson Kirby Makes It Two for Bixby
