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!
Carell Phillips Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, North Duplin got the W thanks in part to Carell Phillips playing the best football he has all season. Phillips rushed for 252 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.5 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
The win for North Duplin keeps them at an undefeated 6-0. They and Union are set to duel on Friday.

Talan Collins' Big Game Leads Rosewood over Union
Talan Collins's big game helped extend Rosewood's winning streak to three on Friday. Collins did his part (and then some), picking up 98 receiving yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'. He has become a key player for Rosewood: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.

A Season-Best Effort from Dontavius Smith Leads Lakewood over North Duplin

Lakewood's defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 5-3. Smith and Lakewood will look to defend their home field on Friday against Hobbton at 7:00 p.m.

Bryson Hobbs Makes It Two for Rosewood
The second Rosewood player making an appearance here is Bryson Hobbs, and for good reason. He rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.
On the year, Hobbs has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 74.4 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 9.63 rushing yards per game.
