2A South East 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!
Jacob Dunning Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Lamar got the W thanks in part to Jacob Dunning playing the best football he has all season. Dunning threw for 250 yards and six touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Lamar pushed their record up to 7-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Dunning and Lamar will venture away from home to take on Florence at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Jordan Jones Leads Banning Lewis Academy over Lamar

Banning Lewis Academy is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-7. Jones and Banning Lewis Academy will take on Manitou Springs at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Early Made His Presence Known in Banning Lewis Academy's 54-14 Loss
Another Banning Lewis Academy player making an appearance on this list is Sam Early. He rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 147 yards and a touchdown.
This season, Early has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 102.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to two.

Cael Buxton Goes Supernova in Lamar Victory
Another Lamar player making an appearance on this list is Cael Buxton. He picked up 89 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made a tackle.
Buxton and Lamar will head out to square off against Florence at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Thunder had to take a loss when they last met the Huskies, but Buxton had little to do with the loss: he picked up 109 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Woodland Park's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 8-0. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Panthers faces off against La Junta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
