1A 6 Man 1 Region III District 9 (6 Man) 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!
Josh Novak Turns in Season-Best Performance
Avalon was led to victory by Josh Novak, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Novak wasn't messing around, rushing for 245 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.9 yards per carry, and also throwing for 78 yards and two touchdowns. The matchup was his ninth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
Milford's probably not too fond of Novak given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Novak saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 226 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 80 yards and two touchdowns.
