1A/2A Central Carolina 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!
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. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Alford and North Rowan are taking a road trip to take on Lexington at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Alford will face off against Jaylen Henderson, the Yellowjackets' star signal caller. 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.

Webb Made His Presence Known in Salisbury's 37-16 Victory
Salisbury picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hank Webb. Webb was dynamite, throwing for 274 yards and three touchdowns, while also punching in a rushing score. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Salisbury pushed their record up to 8-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Webb and Salisbury will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on North Rowan at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.

The matchup was his third straight with six or more total tackles dating back to last season.
East Davidson moved to 2-6 with that win, which also ended their five-game losing streak. Warren and East Davidson will welcome Thomasville at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
