AA 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!
A Season-Best Performance from James Neville Leads Westside over Pike County
Westside was led to victory by James Neville, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Neville rushed for 170 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 93 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Westside's victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 3-5. Neville and Westside will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Rutland at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

Iverson Made His Presence Known in Westside's 35-21 Win
Another Westside player making an appearance on this list is Kadiphius Iverson. He rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 115 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Iverson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Rutland on Friday. Iverson rushed for 175 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry the last time he and the Hurricanes duked it out back in September of 2023.

Big Game from Sammons As Pike County Fell 35-21

This season, Sammons has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 126.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to seven.
