SCISA 3A Region II 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!
Sam Burks Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Northside Christian Academy got the W thanks in part to Sam Burks playing the best football he has all season. Burks rushed for 167 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in November of 2023. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
The win (which was Northside Christian Academy's fifth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Burks and Northside Christian Academy will head out to face off against Florence Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
