Christian (8 Man) 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!
Ty Jones Delivers Best Effort of Season
Russell Christian Academy was led to victory by Ty Jones, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Jones' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his 13th straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
Unfortunately for Victory Christian, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Jones. Jones rushed for 247 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 87 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.
