5A South 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!
Trent Haygood Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Camden Fairview got the W thanks in part to Trent Haygood playing the best football he has all season. Haygood picked up 176 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 84 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
Camden Fairview now has a winning record of 3-2. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals takes on Magnolia at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Darr?ll "Juney" Atkins Jr Goes Supernova in Camden Fairview Victory
Keeping Haygood company is Darr?ll "Juney" Atkins Jr, a fellow Camden Fairview player. He threw for 282 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 76 yards on only ten carries.
Arkansas had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw "Juney" Atkins Jr it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time "Juney" Atkins Jr saw the Razorbacks), he rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 182 yards and a touchdown on only 16 passes.

Maliq Musa Dennis Turns in Another Game with at Least Nine Total Tackles
On Friday, Camden Fairview got the W thanks in part to Maliq Musa Dennis playing the best football he has all season. Musa Dennis wasn't messing around, making nine total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown. The game was his third straight with nine or more total tackles dating back to last season.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals challenges Magnolia at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Musa Dennis took on the Panthers, he made 17 total tackles (1.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Ohman Came Up Big in Lakeside's 36-7 Win
Grady Ohman continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his eighth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 100 rushing yards. He rushed for 181 yards.
Ohman is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Arkansas on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Ohman saw the Razorbacks), he rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 74 receiving yards.

Ben Vincent Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Lakeside got the W thanks in part to Ben Vincent playing the best football he has all season. Vincent picked up 114 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Vincent and Lakeside will be playing at home against Arkansas at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Vincent will face off against Gabriel Braggs, the Razorbacks' star wideout. 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.
