5A San Tan 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!
Kemon Jackson and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
McClintock picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kemon Jackson. Jackson rushed for 83 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 146 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 87 yards.
McClintock pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season. Jackson and McClintock will welcome Sunnyslope at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 65.55
Mack Kump Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sunnyslope came up short on Friday despite Mack Kump delivering his best game to date. Kump picked up 187 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Campo Verde's probably not too fond of Kump given he always seems to get the better of them. Kump picked up 66 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Coyotes duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 31.62
Scroggins Posts Huge Game in 47-7 Victory
Amari Scroggins's big game helped extend McClintock's winning streak to eight on Friday. Scroggins was dynamite, picking up 86 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Scroggins and McClintock will take on Sunnyslope at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Scroggins will face off against Mack Kump, the Vikings' star wideout. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
