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!
Truell Came Up Big in New Hampstead's 34-22 Defeat
Starting off the list is New Hampstead's Rashawn Truell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Truell threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. His passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 300 passing yards dating back to last season.
Truell and New Hampstead will host Wayne County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Truell took on the Yellow Jackets, he threw for 350 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Kory Pettigrew Delivers Best Effort of Season
Perry was led to victory by Kory Pettigrew, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Pettigrew picked up 181 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 67 yards.
Pettigrew and Perry will square off against Benedictine at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The match will pit Pettigrew up against the Cadets' star receiver Joshua Washington. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
Gamescore: 31.27
Bubba Frazier was a major factor in Benedictine's win over Wayne County on Friday. Frazier was unstoppable, rushing for 72 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, while also picking up 51 receiving yards. He is becoming a predictor of Benedictine's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
For the season, Frazier has averaged 93.5 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 17.83 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 45.33 rushing yards.

Hooks Posts Huge Game in 31-21 Loss
Ware County was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Luke Hooks did his best to prevent it. Hooks was dynamite, throwing for 306 yards and three touchdowns.
Ware County now has a losing record at 3-4. Hooks and Ware County will face off against Warner Robins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Jack Ganem Turns in Season-Best Performance
Jack Ganem produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Benedictine to the win on Friday. Ganem picked up 156 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Ganem and Benedictine will welcome Perry at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Ganem up against the Panthers' star wideout Kiel Sparks. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
