AAAA Region 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!
Wren Gets a Boost from Price in 55-3 Win
Starting off the list is Wren's Reese Price, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Price rushed for 114 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 107 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Price could be in store for another big game when he takes on Southside on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Price saw the Tigers), he rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns.
