5A-2 Region IV District 14 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!
Long Posts Huge Game in 59-7 Win
Starting off the list is Miller's Trevor Long, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Long threw for 310 yards and six touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes.
Miller has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Long and Miller will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Gregory-Portland at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Gregory-Portland Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Reed Dooms
Reed Dooms's big game helped extend Gregory-Portland's winning streak to three on Friday. Nobody could stop Dooms as he threw for 218 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 passes, and also rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
If history really does repeat itself, Dooms might just drop another big game when he faces off against Carroll on Thursday. When Dooms last faced the Tigers back in August of 2023, he threw for 322 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.4 yards per attempt, and also punched in a rushing score.

Brian Mccullum Puts an End to Ray's Losing Streak on Friday
Ray's six-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Brian Mccullum. Mccullum rushed for 81 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Ray's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Mccullum and Ray will head out to face off against Corpus Christi Moody at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 33.00
Kayden Dufour Dazzles in Corpus Christi Moody Defeat
Rounding off our Top Five is Kayden Dufour of Corpus Christi Moody. Dufour rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 34 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 61 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Dufour's next match is against Ray on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. Dufour will face off against Anthony Salinas on Friday, the Texans' star running back. 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.
