6A District 16 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
James Perrone Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Saturday, Southridge got the W thanks in part to James Perrone playing the best football he has all season. Perrone threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 58 yards on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Perrone is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Southwest on Friday. When Perrone last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns while completing 88.9% of his passes.
