6A-I District 2 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tayveon Parry Turns in Season-Best Effort
Tayveon Parry produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Union to the win on Thursday. Parry rushed for 170 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
On the year, Parry has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 85.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14.57 rushing yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Jordan Schelling Leads Union over Yukon
Union was led to victory by Jordan Schelling, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Schelling rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. His longest rush was for an incredible 89 yards.
Schelling and Union will be playing in front of their home fans against Broken Arrow at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Redhawks got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Tigers, probably because Schelling had a solid game then too: he picked up 58 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 46 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Jeramiah Ssettimba Delivers Electric Performance Vs Norman North
Jeramiah Ssettimba posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 231 yards and a touchdown.
Ssettimba and Broken Arrow will challenge Union at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Ssettimba will face off against Shaker Reisig, the Redhawks' star QB. 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.

David Mccomb Rounds Out Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is David McComb of Edmond Memorial. McComb rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 145 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
McComb must have Owasso's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time McComb saw the Rams), he threw for 325 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
