6A Region III District 21 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Austin Carlisle's Big Game Leads Ridge Point over Fort Bend Dulles
Starting off the list is Ridge Point's Austin Carlisle, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carlisle threw for 125 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 69 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Fort Bend Dulles's probably not too fond of Carlisle given he always seems to get the better of them. Carlisle threw for 239 yards and four touchdowns while completing 88.2% of his passes the last time he and the Vikings duked it out back in September of 2023.
