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!
Jayden Richardson Turns in Season-Best Effort
Marion County was led to victory by Jayden Richardson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Richardson rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
If history really does repeat itself, Richardson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Chattahoochee County on Friday. Richardson rushed for 161 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Zayden Walker stepped things up a notch to give Schley County the 'W'. Taylor County had no answer to Walker as he picked up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
The win got Schley County back to even at 4-4. Walker and Schley County will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Central at 6:30 p.m. on October 18th.
