5A South 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!
Trent Haygood Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Camden Fairview got the W thanks in part to Trent Haygood playing the best football he has all season. Haygood picked up 176 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 84 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
Haygood is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against De Queen on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Haygood saw the Leopards), he picked up 113 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns.

Keeping Haygood company is Darr?ll "Juney" Atkins Jr, a fellow Camden Fairview player. He threw for 282 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 76 yards on only ten carries.
Unfortunately for Arkansas, this isn't the first big game they've seen from "Juney" Atkins Jr. When "Juney" Atkins Jr last faced the Razorbacks back in September of 2023, he rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.3 yards per carry, and also threw for 182 yards and a touchdown on only 16 passes.
