Cam Adams' Big Game Leads Giddings over Caldwell
Starting off the list is Giddings's Cam Adams, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Adams rushed for 118 yards and four touchdowns, and also threw for 74 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Giddings' victory ended a six-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 2-4. Adams and Giddings will square off against Sealy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Ty Williams Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Madisonville got the W thanks in part to Ty Williams playing the best football he has all season. Williams threw for 346 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 30 yards and a touchdown. His passing game has become a key predictor of Madisonville's success: the team is 2-1 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise.
If history really does repeat itself, Williams might just drop another big game when he faces off against Caldwell on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Williams saw the Hornets), he threw for 163 yards and three touchdowns on perfect 7-for-7 passing, and also rushed for 43 yards.

Bryson Mcdaniel Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Bryson Mcdaniel produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Giddings to the win on Friday. Mcdaniel rushed for 208 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.9 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.8). That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in November of 2023.
Unfortunately for Caldwell, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Mcdaniel. Mcdaniel rushed for 154 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Hornets duked it out back in October of 2023.

Tristan Whaley Has Career-Day on Friday

For the season, Whaley has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 21.5 receiving yards per game.
