2A District 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!
Amari Clemons Delivers Electric Effort Vs Leon
Amari Clemons's big game helped extend Marianna's winning streak to eight on Friday. Clemons was dynamite, rushing for 198 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 119 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Clemons might just drop another big game when he faces off against South Walton on Friday. When Clemons last faced the Seahawks back in November of 2023, he rushed for 174 yards and two touchdowns.
