AAAA Region 2 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!
Aj Tillman Jr Delivers Electric Effort Vs Locust Grove
Starting off the list is McDonough's Aj Tillman Jr, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tillman Jr rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also caught a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 73-yard run.
McDonough is on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Tillman Jr and McDonough will challenge Eagle's Landing Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Edmonds Posts Huge Game in 42-14 Victory
Devin Edmonds was a major factor in Jones County's victory over Eagle's Landing Christian Academy on Friday. Edmonds did his part (and then some), throwing for 258 yards and five touchdowns while completing 79.2% of his passes for the 'W'.
Edmonds and Jones County will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Eagle's Landing at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. The Greyhounds got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Edmonds had a solid game then too: he threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns on only 19 passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

A Season-Best Performance from Macklin Sanders Leads Ola over Woodland
Ola was led to victory by Macklin Sanders, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Sanders wasn't messing around, forcing a fumble and making 12 total tackles (2.0 for loss) in addition to snagging two interceptions which he returned one-yard for a touchdown. The match was his 12th straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
For the year, Sanders has averaged 13.6 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 interceptions. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 3.43 total tackles per game.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Armond Parker stepped things up a notch to give Locust Grove the 'W'. Parker turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 441 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per attempt.

Stockbridge pushed their record up to 7-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. Scott and Stockbridge will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Eagle's Landing Christian Academy at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.
