Pocket - Big School 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!
Jett Goldsberry Goes Supernova in Heritage Hills Win
Starting off the list is Heritage Hills's Jett Goldsberry, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Goldsberry rushed for 142 yards and four touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 99 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 54 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Mt. Vernon's probably not too fond of Goldsberry given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Goldsberry saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, and also threw for 113 yards on four of 13 attempts.
Gamescore: 63.15
Parker Murphy put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 54 yards.
For the season, Murphy has averaged 32.1 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 53.60
Nolan Mckinney Turns in Season-Best Performance
Boonville was led to victory by Nolan Mckinney, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Mckinney rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.6 yards per carry.
Boonville is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a massive bump to their 3-4 record this season. Mckinney and Boonville are taking a road trip to challenge Washington at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 39.40
Hunter Meredith and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Hunter Meredith was instrumental in extending Heritage Hills's winning streak to five on Friday. Mt. Vernon had no answer to Meredith as he rushed for 113 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 58 yards.
Mt. Vernon had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Meredith it was a similar story. When Meredith last faced the Wildcats back in September of 2023, he rushed for 126 yards and four touchdowns on only six carries.
Gamescore: 36.88
Xavion Lesure Makes It Two for Washington
Another Washington player making an appearance on this list is Xavion Lesure. He picked up 57 receiving yards, and also rushed for 40 yards.
This year, Lesure has averaged 19.9 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 56.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 97.14 rushing yards.
