Jason Todd Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Mobile Christian's Jason Todd, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Todd made 14 total tackles.
Mobile Christian moved to 3-5 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Todd and Mobile Christian will head out on the road to challenge W.S. Neal at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jackson Gets a Boost from Duckworth in 48-0 Win
Landon Duckworth was instrumental in extending Jackson's winning streak to eight on Friday. Duckworth was dynamite, rushing for 94 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 257 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes. His longest rush was for an incredible 85 yards.
Duckworth might have his next game, a road matchup with Satsuma, circled on his calendar. Duckworth threw for 228 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes the last time he and the Gators duked it out back in October of 2023.

Ezavier Crowell and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Ezavier Crowell was instrumental in extending Jackson's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Crowell as he rushed for 121 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 33 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Crowell is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Satsuma on Friday. When Crowell last faced the Gators back in October of 2023, he rushed for 113 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 46 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Underclassman Gunner Rivers Comes Up Big Against Pensacola
While it always takes a team to win, one person punching above their weight class on Friday was Gunner Rivers. Pensacola had no answer to Rivers as he threw for 360 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
Rivers might have his next game, a road matchup with Orange Beach, circled on his calendar. Rivers threw for 275 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also caught a touchdown the last time he and the Makos duked it out back in October of 2023.

Brody Jones Delivers Best Effort of Season
St. Michael Catholic was led to victory by Brody Jones, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Jones picked up 197 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Jones might just drop another big game when he faces off against Orange Beach on Friday. When Jones last faced the Makos back in October of 2023, he picked up 86 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
