VISAA Blue Ridge 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!
Christian Ray Turns in Season-Best Performance
Fredericksburg Christian was led to victory by Christian Ray, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Ray rushed for 206 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 150 or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Ray is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Fork Union Military Academy on Friday. When Ray last faced the Blue Devils back in October of 2023, he rushed for 150 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.1 yards per carry.
