AAAA Region 2 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!
Aj Tillman Jr's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Mcdonough over Locust Grove
Starting off the list is McDonough's Aj Tillman Jr, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tillman Jr rushed for 162 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also caught a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 73-yard run.
McDonough is on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Tillman Jr and McDonough will take on Eagle's Landing Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Big Game from Edmonds As Jones County Won 42-14
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Devin Edmonds stepped things up a notch to give Jones County the 'W'. Edmonds was unstoppable, throwing for 258 yards and five touchdowns while completing 79.2% of his passes.
Edmonds and Jones County will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Eagle's Landing at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. The last time Edmonds took on the Eagles, he threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns on only 19 passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
