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!
Kaine Mclendon Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Kaine McLendon posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Albemarle over South Stanly on Friday. McLendon rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns.
Albemarle has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season. McLendon and Albemarle will take on Mount Pleasant at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 56.55
Breshen Bennett Delivers Best Effort of Season
Union Academy came up short on Friday despite Breshen Bennett delivering his best game to date. Bennett picked up 117 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
For the year, Bennett has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 48.1 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 48.62
David Wignot and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
David Wignot was instrumental in extending Lake Norman Charter's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Wignot as he threw for 232 yards and two touchdowns while completing 81.3% of his passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making nine total tackles and defending a pass.
Wignot is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Union Academy on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wignot saw the Cardinals), he threw for 269 yards and six touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 33 yards.

A Season-Best Effort from Major Leak Leads Lake Norman Charter over North Stanly
Major Leak produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Lake Norman Charter to the win on Friday. Leak picked up 156 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 69 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Leak might just drop another big game when he faces off against Union Academy on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Leak saw the Cardinals), he picked up 182 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 34.65
Parker Frashier Turns in Season-Best Performance

On the year, Frashier has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 149 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging four rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 41.71 rushing yards.
