4A DC 6 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Josh Roberson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Josh Roberson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Chapel Hill to the win on Thursday. Roberson rushed for 133 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries.
Roberson must have Riverside-Durham's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Roberson saw the Pirates), he rushed for 88 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.

Tyler Jackson Has Career Rushing Day
On Thursday, Chapel Hill got the W thanks in part to Tyler Jackson playing the best football he has all season. Jackson rushed for 164 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 71 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Jackson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Northern Durham on Friday. When Jackson last faced the Knights back in October of 2023, he rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Amareon Blue was a major factor in Jordan's win over East Chapel Hill on Thursday. Blue was dynamite, rushing for 90 yards and two touchdowns, while also picking up 45 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Blue might have his next game, a home matchup with Riverside-Durham, circled on his calendar. Blue rushed for 154 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries the last time he and the Pirates duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jamarion Ross Delivers Electric Performance Vs Chapel Hill

On the year, Ross has averaged 202.2 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 76.8 rushing yards per game.
