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!
A Season-Best Performance from Ryder Norton Leads Northwest over Bell
On Thursday, Northwest got the W thanks in part to Ryder Norton playing the best football he has all season. Norton rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 61 yards.
The victory for Northwest keeps them at an undefeated 5-0. Norton will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Keller Central on Thursday.

Davis Penn Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Southlake Carroll got the W thanks in part to Davis Penn playing the best football he has all season. Penn rushed for 136 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in December of 2023.
If history really does repeat itself, Penn might just drop another big game when he faces off against V.R. Eaton on Thursday. Penn rushed for 128 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.
