4A Central Piedmont 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!
Lane Albright Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Mount Tabor got the W thanks in part to Lane Albright playing the best football he has all season. Albright threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 62 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 60 yards.
Unfortunately for Davie, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Albright. When Albright last faced the War Eagles back in November of 2023, he threw for 267 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.9% of his passes.

Chris Kirby Turns in Another Game with at Least Seven Total Tackles

Bryce Baker's big game helped extend East Forsyth's winning streak to seven on Friday. Baker did his part (and then some), throwing for 304 yards and four touchdowns while completing 84.6% of his passes for the 'W'.
If history really does repeat itself, Baker might just drop another big game when he faces off against R.J. Reynolds on Friday. Baker threw for 230 yards and five touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes the last time he and the Demons duked it out back in October of 2023.
