1A Region 2 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!
Rayshon Coleman Has Career-Day on Friday
Starting off the list is Florala's Rayshon Coleman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Coleman rushed for 221 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 25 total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
The win (which was Florala's third in a row) raised their record to 6-2. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats takes on Red Level on Friday.

This season, Jackson has thrown 20 touchdowns while averaging 193.9 passing yards per game.

Cayden Adkins' Big Game Leads Elba over Pleasant Home
Cayden Adkins's big game helped extend Elba's winning streak to five on Thursday. Adkins turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up a sack and making 16 total tackles (5.0 for loss). The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 61 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Adkins might just drop another big game when he faces off against Georgiana on Friday. When Adkins last faced the Panthers back in October of 2023, he made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss).

Jacob Ledbetter and Co. Win Fifth in a Row

Alvin Henderson Turns in Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns
Alvin Henderson continued his hot streak on Thursday by dropping his 22nd-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
If the past is any indication, Henderson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Georgiana on Friday. Henderson rushed for 226 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.3 yards per carry the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.
