SCISA 4A 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!
Ford Posts Huge Game in 33-26 Loss
Starting off the list is Cardinal Newman's Caleb Ford, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ford rushed for 301 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 115 rushing yards.
Cardinal Newman is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals faces off against Augusta Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Hammond Wins 17th-Straight Thanks to Immanuel Johnson
Immanuel Johnson's big game helped extend Hammond's winning streak to 17 on Friday. Johnson rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
Hammond pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Johnson and Hammond will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Ben Lippen at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 48.88
Jammall Fludd's big game helped extend Porter-Gaud's winning streak to four on Friday. Fludd turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 77 yards and a touchdown.
Fludd is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Cardinal Newman on Thursday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Fludd saw the Cardinals), he rushed for 225 yards and four touchdowns.
Gamescore: 38.50
Austin Huff Delivers Best Effort of Season
Ben Lippen was led to victory by Austin Huff, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Huff wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, making seven total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The matchup was his third straight with five or more total tackles.
The victory snapped Ben Lippen's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-3 record. Huff and Ben Lippen will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Hammond at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 34.00
Tony Brown Makes It Two for Porter-Gaud
Another Porter-Gaud player making an appearance on this list is Tony Brown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season. He didn't just play on offense: he also made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.
Brown and Porter-Gaud will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Cardinal Newman at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. The Cyclones got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Cardinals, probably because Brown had a solid game then too: he picked up a sack and made ten total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
