AAAA Region 1 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Reese Price Leads Wren over Fountain Inn
On Friday, Wren got the W thanks in part to Reese Price playing the best football he has all season. Price rushed for 206 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 107 or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Price might just drop another big game when he faces off against Southside on Friday. Price rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Colten Bagwell Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Wren got the W thanks in part to Colten Bagwell playing the best football he has all season. Bagwell threw for 166 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown.
Bagwell is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Southside on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bagwell saw the Tigers), he rushed for 43 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns on only 17 passes.

Laurens' Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Will Thompson
Will Thompson helped snap Laurens's seven-game losing streak dating back to last season. Nobody could stop Thompson on Friday as he rushed for 16 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 129 yards on ten of 16 attempts.
Laurens' first win this season bumped their record up to 1-5. Thompson and Laurens will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Westside at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 26.20
Emerald had to settle for second on Friday, but Christian Foster sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Foster as he made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Emerald is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-4. Foster and Emerald will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Fountain Inn at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.
