Rayshon Coleman's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Florala's Rayshon Coleman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Coleman rushed for 221 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also made 25 total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
The victory was the third in a row for Florala, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats faces off against Red Level on Friday.
