Antonio Armstrong Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Kings Mountain's Antonio Armstrong, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Armstrong wasn't messing around on Friday, forcing a fumble, making 16 total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown. The match was his ninth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
For the year, Armstrong has averaged 11.4 total tackles per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.14 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 41.00
South Point had to settle for second on Friday, but Chanyce Ford sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Ford as he made nine total tackles.
With the loss, South Point broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 5-1. Ford and South Point will face off against Forestview at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Brown Came Up Big in Huss' 46-0 Win
Huss picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Javarion Brown. Brown did his part (and then some), throwing for 220 yards and four touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and also rushing for 31 yards for the 'W'. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
Brown and Huss will look to defend their home field on Friday against Crest at 7:30 p.m. Brown will face off against Turner Mcswain, the Chargers' star signal caller. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
