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!
Jeremiah Alford Dazzles in North Rowan Victory
Starting off the list is North Rowan's Jeremiah Alford, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Alford rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 113 yards on nine of 15 attempts. Those 100 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Alford and North Rowan are taking a road trip to square off against Lexington at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Alford up against the Yellowjackets' star quarterback Jaylen Henderson. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
