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!
C.B. Aycock Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Caleb Frederick
Caleb Frederick's big game helped extend C.B. Aycock's winning streak to eight on Thursday. Frederick was dynamite, rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, while also catching a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Frederick might just drop another big game when he faces off against Smithfield-Selma on Thursday. When Frederick last faced the Spartans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 52 receiving yards and a touchdown.
