5A Region 3 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!
Avery Westfield Puts an End to Karns' Losing Streak on Friday
Karns's five-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Avery Westfield. On Friday Westfield rushed for 213 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 80 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Karns' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-4 when he doesn't).
Karns' win bumped their record up to 3-5. Westfield and Karns will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Clinton at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 63.42
Big Game from Wright As Clinton Fell 15-14
While Bo Wright delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Clinton. Wright was dynamite, making 22 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
If the past is any indication, Wright could be in store for another big game when he takes on Karns on Friday. When Wright last faced the Beavers back in October of 2023, he made 14 total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception.

A Season-Best Effort from Austin Slover Leads Karns over Campbell County
Austin Slover produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Karns to the win on Friday. Slover threw for 167 yards and two touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 42 yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Slover has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 104.4 passing yards per game.
