2A Region 8 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!
Jamiyon Gray Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Mize's Jamiyon Gray, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Gray picked up 0.5 sacks, made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss), and defended a pass. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (169) he has had since back in August of 2023. His longest rush was for an incredible 73 yards.
Gray might have his next game, a road matchup with Heidelberg, circled on his calendar. When Gray last faced the Oilers back in October of 2023, he made six total tackles.
Gamescore: 56.90
Destin Mccray and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Heidelberg picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Destin Mccray. Nobody could stop Mccray as he picked up a sack and made five total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Mccray must have North Forrest's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Mccray saw the Eagles), he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made ten total tackles.
Gamescore: 26.28
Ti?Jarian Barnes' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Collins over Mize
While Collins might've come up empty on Friday, Ti?Jarian Barnes wasn't going down without a fight. Mize had no answer to Barnes as he rushed for 70 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 35 receiving yards.
Collins now has a losing record at 3-4. Barnes and Collins will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Richton at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 26.07
Big Game from Craft As Heidelberg Won 58-0
Another Heidelberg player making an appearance on this list is Chase Craft. He threw for 164 yards and three touchdowns on perfect 7-for-7 passing.
North Forrest's probably not too fond of Craft given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Craft saw the Eagles), he rushed for 77 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 125 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 26.03
Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Devin Tribble
Devin Tribble continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 22nd-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He made 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
On the season, Tribble has averaged 10.6 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 25.75
