TAPPS Division I District 1 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Sawyer Anderson Leads Parish Episcopal over Prestonwood Christian
Sadly, Sawyer Anderson posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Parish Episcopal over Prestonwood Christian on Friday. Anderson wasn't messing around, throwing for 517 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 16.2 yards per attempt, and also rushing for 54 yards. The game was his ninth straight with three or more passing touchdowns.
Anderson must have Prestonwood Christian's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Anderson saw the Lions), he threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 54 yards and a touchdown.

Matias Leon Has Career Rushing Day
Bishop Lynch was led to victory by Matias Leon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Leon threw for 237 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Bishop Lynch's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
The victory was the third in a row for Bishop Lynch, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Leon and Bishop Lynch are taking a road trip to square off against Liberty Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
