3A Region 6 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!
Jones Posts Huge Game in 37-30 Win
Starting off the list is Ohatchee's Nate Jones, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jones rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns. Ohatchee is 2-1 when Jones posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
If history really does repeat itself, Jones might just drop another big game when he faces off against Glencoe on Friday. When Jones last faced the Yellowjackets back in October of 2023, he rushed for 201 yards and three touchdowns.

He didn't just play on offense: he also made three total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
For the year, Heard has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 39.5 receiving yards per game.
