TAPPS Division I District 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Sawyer Anderson Turns in Season-Best Effort
Parish Episcopal was led to victory by Sawyer Anderson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Anderson rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 443 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 16.4 yards per attempt, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Prestonwood Christian had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Anderson it was a similar story. Anderson threw for 517 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 16.2 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 54 yards the last time he and the Lions duked it out back in October.

Big Game from Lawrence As Legacy Christian Academy Won 62-27
Legacy Christian Academy found a leader in Luke Lawrence as the team took down Antonian Prep on Saturday. Lawrence was dynamite, throwing for 353 yards and five touchdowns while completing 79.2% of his passes, and also rushing for 77 yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 66 yards.
Legacy Christian Academy has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 8-4 record this season. Lawrence will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Parish Episcopal on Saturday.
Gamescore: 66.33
Chase Garnett Delivers Electric Effort Vs Bishop Lynch
Chase Garnett's big game helped extend Liberty Christian's winning streak to nine on Friday. Garnett was unstoppable, rushing for 161 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.1 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 142 rushing yards.
Unfortunately for Bishop Lynch, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Garnett. On November 1st (the last time Garnett saw the Friars), he rushed for 142 yards while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 36 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 50.08
A Season-Best Performance from Luke Glass Leads Prestonwood Christian over Parish Episcopal
Sadly, Luke Glass posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Prestonwood Christian over Parish Episcopal on Friday. Glass wasn't messing around, throwing for 404 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.2 yards per attempt. The matchup was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns.
Unfortunately for Parish Episcopal, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Glass. Glass threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 12.7 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October.

Parish Episcopal Gets a Boost from Darby in 61-55 Win
The second Parish Episcopal player making an appearance here is Carson Darby, and for good reason. He picked up 279 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Parish Episcopal's success: when he posts at least 100 receiving yards the team is undefeated (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
Darby must have Prestonwood Christian's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Darby last faced the Lions back in October, he picked up 240 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
