2A Region 3 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!
Rodrevious Bailey Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Rodrevious Bailey posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Lafayette County over Gurdon on Friday. Bailey rushed for 229 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 49 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Lafayette County now has a losing record at 2-3. Bailey and Lafayette County will take on Spring Hill at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 89.35
Laster Posts Huge Game in 39-36 Win
Gurdon took down Lafayette County on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Xavier Laster's standout effort. Laster turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 103 yards on only 13 carries, while also catching a touchdown.
This year, Laster has averaged 111.8 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 69.75 rushing yards per game.

Jaz Radford Makes It Two for Lafayette County
The second Lafayette County player making an appearance here is Jaz Radford, and for good reason. He rushed for 16 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Radford has averaged 89 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 22.33
The second Gurdon player making an appearance here is Jamari Williams, and for good reason. He rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns.
Williams must have Lafayette County's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Williams last faced the Cougars back in August of 2023, he rushed for 77 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries.
