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!
Big Game from Edwards As Lebanon Fell 24-21
Starting off the list is Lebanon's Harrison Edwards, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Edwards rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 116 rushing yards.
This year, Edwards has run in 12 touchdowns while averaging 122.2 rushing yards per game.

Jackson Stroup Turns in Another Game with at Least Three Passing Touchdowns
Jackson Stroup continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least three passing touchdowns. He threw for 216 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 36 yards.
Stroup and Gallatin will host Springfield at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Green Wave got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Yellow Jackets, probably because Stroup had a solid game then too: he threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Jaden Hoskins Makes It Three for Gallatin
Another Gallatin player making an appearance on this list is Jaden Hoskins. He rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 42 receiving yards.
For the season, Hoskins has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 61 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.

Owen Posts Huge Game in 31-14 Win
Rounding off our Top Five is Blake Owen of Cookeville. Owen threw for 180 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 passes, and also rushed for 33 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Owen might just drop another big game when he faces off against Green Hill on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Owen saw the Hawks), he rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 121 yards and a touchdown.
