5A District 4 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!
Foster Posts Huge Game in 42-14 Loss
Starting off the list is Liberty Magnet's Zaiden Foster, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Foster rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 57 yards.
Liberty Magnet has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-4 record this season. Foster and Liberty Magnet have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Zachary at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
