Coby King Dazzles in Greene County Victory
Starting off the list is Greene County's Coby King, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. King threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 13.1 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 31 yards and two touchdowns.
Bay had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw King it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time King saw the Tigers), he rushed for 85 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 115 yards and three touchdowns.

Pass Christian's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Jacquez Alexander-Dedeaux
Jacquez Alexander-Dedeaux helped snap Pass Christian's three-game losing streak. Nobody could stop Alexander-Dedeaux on Friday as he rushed for 130 yards and three touchdowns.
Moss Point's probably not too fond of Alexander-Dedeaux given he always seems to get the better of them. Alexander-Dedeaux rushed for 230 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.7 yards per carry the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Franks Made His Presence Known in Greene County's 54-19 Victory
The second Greene County player making an appearance here is Lakeus Franks, and for good reason. He rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 78 receiving yards and a touchdown.
This year, Franks has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 51.7 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging six rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 69.43 rushing yards.
