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!
A Season-Best Effort from Grayson Mcmanus Leads Thorsby over Greensboro
On Friday, Thorsby got the W thanks in part to Grayson Mcmanus playing the best football he has all season. Mcmanus rushed for 161 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 140 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 passes. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 81-yard run.
This year, Mcmanus has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 79.5 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he had seven rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 12.

Bryant Came Up Big in Thomasville's 47-0 Victory
Dallas Bryant was instrumental in extending Thomasville's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Bryant as he rushed for 124 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries, and also picked up 63 receiving yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 124 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Thomasville's victory was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Bryant and Thomasville will look to defend their home field on Friday against Greensboro at 7:00 p.m.
