4A Greater Neuse River 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!
Devyn Grant Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Garner's Devyn Grant, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Grant rushed for 174 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 32 receiving yards. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (104.7) per game.
Willow Spring's probably not too fond of Grant given he always seems to get the better of them. When Grant last faced the Storm back in September of 2023, he rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 85 receiving yards.
Gamescore: 57.37
Ryan Hebert Delivers Electric Performance Vs Willow Spring
Keeping Grant company is Ryan Hebert, a fellow Garner player. He made 17 total tackles (7.0 for loss).
For the season, Hebert has averaged 9.2 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 39.50
Jackson Byrd and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Jackson Byrd was instrumental in extending Cleveland's winning streak to six on Friday. Fuquay - Varina had no answer to Byrd as he threw for 351 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per attempt.
If history really does repeat itself, Byrd might just drop another big game when he faces off against Willow Spring on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Byrd saw the Storm), he threw for 335 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.9 yards per attempt.
Gamescore: 32.00
A Constellation of Stars for Garner
Another Garner player making an appearance on this list is Tyquan Richardson. He picked up three sacks and made eight total tackles.
This season, Richardson has averaged 8.2 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.67 total tackles per game.
