D6 District 2 (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Lane Conway Delivers Best Effort of Season
Silver Lake was led to victory by Lane Conway, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Conway rushed for 92 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown. Silver Lake is undefeated when Conway posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Conway is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Ansley/Litchfield on Friday. When Conway last faced the Spartans back in September, he threw for 158 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 passes, and also rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Gamescore: 48.05
Underclassman Jayton Jones Major Player in Meridian Victory
While it always takes a team to win, one person punching above their weight class on Friday was Jayton Jones. Dorchester had no answer to Jones as he rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns.
On the season, Jones has run in 12 touchdowns while averaging 54.8 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 34.00
Whetstine-Jones Came Up Big in Harvard's 63-26 Loss
While Harvard might've come up empty on Friday, Ethyn Whetstine-Jones wasn't going down without a fight. Silver Lake had no answer to Whetstine-Jones as he rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a touchdown. Whetstine-Jones didn't just play on offense: he also made eight total tackles and defended a pass.
On the season, Whetstine-Jones has averaged 27.8 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 26.47
Jaxon Tenbensel Makes It Two for Silver Lake
The second Silver Lake player making an appearance here is Jaxon Tenbensel, and for good reason. He picked up 46 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown.
Tenbensel and Silver Lake will face off against Ansley/Litchfield at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Mustangs got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Spartans, probably because Tenbensel had a solid game then too: he picked up 50 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 34 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
