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!
Big Game from Cobb As Pulaski Academy Fell 48-29
Starting off the list is Pulaski Academy's Brandon Cobb, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cobb threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Pulaski Academy moved to 5-1 with that loss, which also ended their five-game winning streak. Cobb and Pulaski Academy will head out to face off against Cabot at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Myron Thrash Jr Delivers Best Performance of Season
Bryant was led to victory by Myron Thrash Jr, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Thrash Jr rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
If the past is any indication, Thrash Jr could be in store for another big game when he takes on Little Rock Southwest on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Thrash Jr saw the Gryphons), he rushed for 226 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, and also picked up 76 receiving yards and a touchdown.
