2A/3A Northern Lakes 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!
Josiah Daniel Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, J.F. Webb got the W thanks in part to Josiah Daniel playing the best football he has all season. Daniel rushed for 265 yards and a touchdown while picking up 15.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making five total tackles (2.0 for loss).
The win snapped J.F. Webb's losing streak at nine games dating back to last season and leaves them with a 1-7 record. They and South Granville are set to duel on Friday.

Jamar Hicks Has Career Rushing Day
Jamar Hicks produced his most outstanding game to date while leading South Granville to the win on Friday. Hicks rushed for 152 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 107 or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Hicks could be in store for another big game when he takes on J.F. Webb on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hicks saw the Warriors), he rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
