AAA 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!
Big Game from Robinson As Walhalla Won 49-7
Starting off the list is Walhalla's Landon Robinson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Robinson rushed for 162 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Robinson might have his next game, a home matchup with West-Oak, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Robinson saw the Warriors), he rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry.

With the victory, Pendleton broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 3-3. Grass and Pendleton will take on Belton-Honea Path at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Bray Spear Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Pendleton got the W thanks in part to Bray Spear playing the best football he has all season. Spear rushed for 57 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Pendleton's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
This year, Spear has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 58.5 rushing yards per game.

Marquise Henderson's Big Game Leads Belton-Honea Path over Crescent
Belton-Honea Path picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Marquise Henderson. Henderson was unstoppable, rushing for 104 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, while also picking up 37 receiving yards. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 104 rushing yards.
Belton-Honea Path's win was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-1. Henderson and Belton-Honea Path will venture away from home to take on Pendleton at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
