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!
Tj White Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Tj White posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Jackson Academy over Jackson Prep on Friday. White wasn't messing around, picking up 2.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making ten total tackles (4.0 for loss). The matchup was his ninth straight with five or more total tackles.
On the year, White has averaged 7.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 11 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after 13 games last season, he had one sack.

Kenzy West Delivers Electric Effort Vs Madison-Ridgeland Academy
Kenzy West was instrumental in extending Hartfield Academy's winning streak to four on Friday. Madison-Ridgeland Academy had no answer to West as he rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns.
West is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Jackson Prep on Friday. West picked up 186 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in two rushing scores the last time he and the Patriots duked it out back in October.
