Division II-A West 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!
Lekhy Thompkins Delivers Electric Effort Vs Tipton-Rosemark Academy
Starting off the list is Trinity Christian Academy's Lekhy Thompkins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Thompkins rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries. He has become a key player for Trinity Christian Academy: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Tipton-Rosemark Academy, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Thompkins. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Thompkins saw the Rebels), he rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries.

Brayden Waller Makes It Two for Trinity Christian Academy
Another Trinity Christian Academy player making an appearance on this list is Brayden Waller. He rushed for 34 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 37 receiving yards. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble, made nine total tackles, and defended a pass.
This year, Waller has averaged 79.9 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 36.92
Zeb Pulliam Has Career-Day on Friday
Zeb Pulliam posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made five total tackles.
Pulliam and Fayette Academy will square off against Harding Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Vikings got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Lions, probably because Pulliam had a solid game then too: he made 12 total tackles (2.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?
