3A/4A Northwestern 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!
Watauga Wins Tenth-Straight Thanks to Maddox Greene
Maddox Greene was instrumental in extending Watauga's winning streak to ten on Friday. Greene did his part (and then some), rushing for 170 yards while picking up 10.6 yards per carry, and also throwing for 142 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 passes for the 'W'.
Watauga's victory was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-0. Greene will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Ragsdale on Friday.

Evan Burroughs and Co. Win Tenth in a Row
Evan Burroughs was instrumental in extending Watauga's winning streak to ten on Friday. South Caldwell had no answer to Burroughs as he made a tackle and defended a pass. Burroughs also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making a tackle and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.

Alexander Central Gets a Boost from Queen in 27-18 Victory
