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!
A Season-Best Performance from Jared Curtis Leads Nashville Christian over Columbia Academy
Nashville Christian was led to victory by Jared Curtis, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Curtis rushed for 78 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 371 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73% of his passes.
If history really does repeat itself, Curtis might just drop another big game when he faces off against Fayetteville on Friday. Curtis threw for 346 yards and four touchdowns the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Tucker Wolf Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Tucker Wolf stepped things up a notch to give Grace Christian Academy the 'W'. Wolf showed up in a big way, picking up 212 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average receiving yardage north of 100 yards per game (127).
Wolf must have Whites Creek's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Wolf last faced the Cobras back in October of 2023, he picked up 97 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

King Gardner Delivers Electric Performance Vs Clarksville Academy
King Gardner was instrumental in extending Donelson Christian Academy's winning streak to three on Friday. Gardner turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 109 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Donelson Christian Academy's victory was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-1. Gardner and Donelson Christian Academy will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Grace Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
