This Week's Top Player Performances from Across the League
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!
Jamouri Nichols Delivers Electric Performance Vs West Mecklenburg
Starting off the list is West Charlotte's Jamouri Nichols, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Nichols rushed for 88 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and also threw for 80 yards and two TDs on perfect 6-for-6 passing. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 65 yards.
West Mecklenburg had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Nichols it was a similar story. Nichols rushed for 60 yards and a pair of scores, and also threw for 192 yards and one touchdown on only 17 passes the last time he and the Hawks duked it out back in September of 2024.

Hill's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 101 rushing yards.
Independence's win bumped their record up to 4-1. Hill and the Patriots will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against West Charlotte at 7:00 p.m. on October 3.
