This Week's Top Player Performances from Across the League
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!
Reed Jerome Dazzles in Lampasas Win
Starting off the list is Lampasas's Reed Jerome, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jerome rushed for 107 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 136 yards and two touchdowns.
Burnet's probably not too fond of Jerome given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jerome saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 169 yards and two touchdowns.

A Season-Best Effort from Tristian Gentry Leads Stephenville over Marble Falls
On Friday, Stephenville got the W thanks in part to Tristian Gentry playing the best football he has all season. Gentry picked up 194 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 53 yards.
This season, Gentry has caught 12 touchdowns while averaging 131.7 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 79.29 receiving yards per game.
