Cardinal Newman Gets a Boost from Ford in 33-26 Loss
Starting off the list is Cardinal Newman's Caleb Ford, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ford rushed for 301 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 115 rushing yards.
Cardinal Newman is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals dukes it out withAugusta Christian at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Hammond Wins 17th-Straight Thanks to Immanuel Johnson
Immanuel Johnson was instrumental in extending Hammond's winning streak to 17 on Friday. Johnson turned in his biggest game of the season, rushing for 176 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.4 yards per carry.
Hammond's victory was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Johnson and Hammond will face off against Northwood Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 48.88
Porter-Gaud picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jammall Fludd. Fludd was dynamite, rushing for 77 yards and a touchdown.
If the past is any indication, Fludd could be in store for another big game when he takes on Cardinal Newman on Thursday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Fludd saw the Cardinals), he rushed for 225 yards and four touchdowns.
Gamescore: 38.50
A Season-Best Performance from Austin Huff Leads Ben Lippen over Heathwood Hall Episcopal
On Thursday, Ben Lippen got the W thanks in part to Austin Huff playing the best football he has all season. Huff wasn't messing around, picking up three sacks, making seven total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The game was his third straight with five or more total tackles.
With the win, Ben Lippen broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 3-3. Huff and Ben Lippen will face off against Laurence Manning Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Tony Brown Makes It Two for Porter-Gaud
Another Porter-Gaud player making an appearance on this list is Tony Brown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season. He didn't just play on offense: he also made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.
Brown and Porter-Gaud will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Cardinal Newman at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. The Cyclones got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Cardinals, probably because Brown had a solid game then too: he picked up a sack and made ten total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
