6A Region I District 5 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Sterling Schneider Dazzles in Guyer Win
Starting off the list is Guyer's Sterling Schneider, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Schneider rushed for 101 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 63 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Little Elm had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Schneider it was a similar story. Schneider rushed for 93 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries the last time he and the Lobos duked it out back in September of 2023.
