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!
Jackson Kilgore's Big Game Leads Auburn over Smiths Station
Auburn picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jackson Kilgore. Kilgore was unstoppable, throwing for 193 yards and six touchdowns while completing 73.3% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Auburn's victory was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Kilgore and Auburn will challenge Carver Montgomery at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Aj Alexander Leads Dothan over JAG
Aj Alexander produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Dothan to the win on Friday. Alexander's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 136 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Alexander could be in store for another big game when he takes on Smiths Station on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Alexander saw the Panthers), he rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

Auburn Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Omar Mabson
Omar Mabson was instrumental in extending Auburn's winning streak to seven on Friday. Mabson did his part (and then some), rushing for 127 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, while also catching a touchdown for the 'W'.
Smiths Station's probably not too fond of Mabson given he always seems to get the better of them. When Mabson last faced the Panthers back in November of 2023, he rushed for 136 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries.
