5A-1 Region III District 10 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
David Baines Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Westbury got the W thanks in part to David Baines playing the best football he has all season. Baines rushed for 178 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also threw for 196 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Baines has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 70.9 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to six.
Gamescore: 62.02
Kevion West Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Kevion West posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he posted at least 101 rushing yards in the fifth games prior. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 53 yards.
The victory (which was Waltrip's fifth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. West and Waltrip will face off against Westbury at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Braylon Wilson Makes It Two for Waltrip
Keeping West company is Braylon Wilson, a fellow Waltrip player. He made a tackle. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (107.5) per game. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 68 yards.
Gamescore: 44.35
Big Game from Lummus As Milby Won 54-0
Aaron Lummus was a major factor in Milby's win over Austin on Thursday. Austin had no answer to Lummus as he threw for 181 yards and four touchdowns on only nine passes, and also rushed for 40 yards and a touchdown.
This season, Lummus has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 119.4 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 6.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 68.71 rushing yards.

Jeremiah Shelley Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Westbury got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Shelley playing the best football he has all season. Shelley wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks and making eight total tackles. The match was his sixth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season. He has become a key player for Westbury: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least one sack, but 1-3 otherwise.
On the year, Shelley has averaged 6.7 total tackles per game and for the season has 8 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 4.43 total tackles per game.
