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!
Shawn Davis Delivers Electric Performance Vs South Lenoir
Starting off the list is East Duplin's Shawn Davis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Davis rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
Unfortunately for South Lenoir, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Davis. Davis rushed for 104 yards the last time he and the Blue Devils duked it out back in October of 2023.

Jeremiah Hall and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Jeremiah Hall's big game helped extend James Kenan's winning streak to eight on Friday. Hall rushed for 117 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
James Kenan pushed their record up to 8-0 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Hall and James Kenan will be playing in front of their home fans against Southwest Onslow at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
