2A Region 6 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!
Denver Comstock Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
Starting off the list is Falkville's Denver Comstock, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Comstock rushed for 77 yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. We marked that as the best he's had all season, even better than his effort last Friday.
On the year, Comstock has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 42.7 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.

Landon Powers Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Landon Powers posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Falkville over Decatur Heritage Christian Academy on Friday. Powers rushed for 206 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 94-yard run.
On the season, Powers has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 53.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 18.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 56.33 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 39.50
While Jaxon Hamby delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for West End. Hamby was unstoppable, throwing for 210 yards and a touchdown.
West End is on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-7. Hamby and West End will square off against Ider at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

For the year, Mayo has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 63.3 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 6.86 receiving yards per game.
