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!
Jayden Adams Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Jayden Adams posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Cherryville over East Gaston on Friday. Adams rushed for 311 yards on only five carries.
Cherryville is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Adams' next contest is against Highland Tech on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
Gamescore: 58.40
Farmer Made His Presence Known in Shelby's 77-0 Win
Lan Farmer was instrumental in extending Shelby's winning streak to four on Friday. Farmer was dynamite, throwing for 152 yards and six touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
Farmer and Shelby will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bessemer City at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th. Farmer will face off against Gavin Chastain, the Yellow Jackets' star signal caller. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Tristan Tate Makes It Two for Shelby
Another Shelby player making an appearance on this list is Tristan Tate. He rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 58 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Tate might just drop another big game when he faces off against Bessemer City on Friday. When Tate last faced the Yellow Jackets back in October of 2023, he rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 34 receiving yards.
