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!
Kadyn Mitchell's Big Game Leads Houston Academy over Prattville Christian Academy
Starting off the list is Houston Academy's Kadyn Mitchell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mitchell threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Mitchell could be in store for another big game when he takes on Northside Methodist Academy on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Mitchell saw the Knights), he threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.

Montgomery Academy Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Reid Mcbride
Reid Mcbride was instrumental in extending Montgomery Academy's winning streak to four on Friday. Mcbride turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 229 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last five times he's played.
This season, Mcbride has thrown 22 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 216.5 passing yards per game.

Vinson Posts Huge Game in 50-12 Victory
Another Montgomery Academy player making an appearance on this list is D.J. Vinson. He picked up 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Vinson must have Slocomb's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Vinson saw the Red Tops), he picked up 234 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 29.42
