4A Region 1 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!
Gabriel Holmes Goes Supernova in Gravette Win
Gabriel Holmes's big game helped extend Gravette's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Holmes as he rushed for 120 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. Holmes is crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least three every time he's taken the field this season.
Unfortunately for Berryville, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Holmes. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Holmes saw the Bobcats), he threw for 215 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 66 yards on only five carries.
