6A Region 2 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Marvin Moore Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Callaway got the W thanks in part to Marvin Moore playing the best football he has all season. Moore rushed for 266 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per carry. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Columbus had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Moore it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Moore saw the Falcons), he rushed for 150 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 47 receiving yards.
