TAPPS Division I District 1 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!
Will Estes Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Bishop Lynch's Will Estes, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Estes' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 150 rushing yards. He also rushed for 179 rushing yards, which is notable because Bishop Lynch is 3-1 when he posts at least 100 rushing yards, but 3-4 otherwise.
Bishop Lynch now has a winning record of 6-5. Estes and Bishop Lynch are on the road again on Friday to play Liberty Christian at 7:00 p.m.

Anderson Made His Presence Known in Parish Episcopal's 76-27 Win
Sawyer Anderson continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 11th-straight game with at least three passing touchdowns. He threw for 436 yards and six touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes.
Anderson is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Prestonwood Christian on Friday. Anderson threw for 517 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 16.2 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 54 yards the last time he and the Lions duked it out back in October.

Nick Wheeler Makes It Two for Parish Episcopal

This season, Wheeler has run in 10 touchdowns while averaging 18.7 rushing yards per game.

Luke Lawrence Goes Supernova in Legacy Christian Academy Victory
Luke Lawrence posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 131 yards and a touchdown.

With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
