Southern Ohio I 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!
Brady Moore Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Eastern got the W thanks in part to Brady Moore playing the best football he has all season. Moore rushed for 177 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making three total tackles.
Moore and Eastern will challenge South Gallia at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Eagles got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Rebels, probably because Moore had a solid game then too: he rushed for 39 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
