2A Foothills 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!
Fisher Leftwich Goes Supernova in North Surry Victory
Starting off the list is North Surry's Fisher Leftwich, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Leftwich picked up 140 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in two rushing scores. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for four straight games.
If the past is any indication, Leftwich could be in store for another big game when he takes on West Wilkes on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Leftwich saw the Blackhawks), he picked up 105 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

East Surry Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Troy Watson
Troy Watson was instrumental in extending East Surry's winning streak to three on Friday. Forbush had no answer to Watson as he rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries.
East Surry's victory was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 4-2. Watson and East Surry will take on North Wilkes at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Mcknight Made His Presence Known in North Surry's 42-7 Victory
Another North Surry player making an appearance on this list is Kam McKnight. He threw for 286 yards and three touchdowns while completing 88.9% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
McKnight and North Surry will look to defend their home field on Friday against West Wilkes at 7:00 p.m. The Greyhounds got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Blackhawks, probably because McKnight had a solid game then too: he threw for 175 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
