4A District 11 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!
Jones Posts Huge Game in 33-28 Loss
Starting off the list is St. Petersburg's Jeffery Jones, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jones rushed for 214 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 75 yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 119 rushing yards.
With the loss, St. Petersburg broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-2. Jones and St. Petersburg will stay at home for another week and welcome Osceola at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Osceola Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Dylan Xayasongkham
Dylan Xayasongkham's big game helped extend Osceola's winning streak to three on Friday. Xayasongkham turned in nothing short of a gem, making five total tackles and defending a pass. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Countryside's probably not too fond of Xayasongkham given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Xayasongkham saw the Cougars), he forced a fumble, made eight total tackles, and defended seven passes in addition to snagging an interception.

Keatin Emener Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Northeast got the W thanks in part to Keatin Emener playing the best football he has all season. Emener rushed for 12 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 137 yards and a touchdown.
With the victory, Northeast broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 2-5. Emener and Northeast will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Largo at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.

A Season-Best Effort from Gavin Galish Leads Osceola over Countryside

This season, Galish has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 94.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 51.49 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 85.14 passer rating.
