Antonio Armstrong Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Kings Mountain's Antonio Armstrong, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Armstrong wasn't messing around on Friday, forcing a fumble, making 16 total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown. The contest was his ninth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
On the season, Armstrong has averaged 11.4 total tackles per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 7.14 total tackles per game.

South Point was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Chanyce Ford did his best to prevent it. Ford was unstoppable, making nine total tackles.
The loss snapped South Point's winning streak at five games and leaves them with a 5-1 record. Ford and South Point will take on Forestview at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Brown As Huss Won 46-0
Javarion Brown was instrumental in extending Huss's winning streak to three on Friday. North Gaston had no answer to Brown as he threw for 220 yards and four touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 31 yards. Brown has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
Brown and Huss will be playing in front of their home fans against Crest at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Brown will face off against Turner Mcswain, the Chargers' star QB. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
