AA Region 4 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!
Mcclendon Posts Huge Game in 30-13 Victory
Starting off the list is Cheraw's Cam McClendon, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. McClendon rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Cheraw's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
McClendon and Cheraw will venture away from home to face off against North Central at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Braves got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Knights, probably because McClendon had a solid game then too: he rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Wilson Made His Presence Known in Central's 30-13 Loss
While Central might've come up empty on Friday, Ashten Wilson wasn't going down without a fight. Wilson was dynamite, rushing for 102 yards on only 12 carries.
Wilson and Central will square off against Andrew Jackson at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Wilson will face off against Damias Seegars, the Volunteers' star rusher. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
