Rayshon Coleman Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Florala's Rayshon Coleman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Coleman rushed for 221 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 25 total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
The victory was the third in a row for Florala, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats dukes it out withRed Level on Friday.

Cayden Adkins Goes Supernova in Elba Win
Elba picked up their fifth consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Cayden Adkins. Adkins turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up a sack and making 16 total tackles (5.0 for loss). He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 61 yards.
If the past is any indication, Adkins could be in store for another big game when he takes on Georgiana on Friday. Adkins made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Alvin Henderson
Alvin Henderson continued his hot streak on Thursday by dropping his 22nd-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
If history really does repeat itself, Henderson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Georgiana on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Henderson saw the Panthers), he rushed for 226 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.3 yards per carry.
