3A/4A Big Carolina 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!
New Bern Gets a Boost from Mccormick in 56-12 Victory
Starting off the list is New Bern's Terrance Mccormick, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mccormick threw for 249 yards and five touchdowns on only 17 passes.
New Bern has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Mccormick and New Bern will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on D.H. Conley at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Sharpe Came Up Big in Havelock's 21-14 Win
Lebron Sharpe put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in November of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Jacksonville had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Sharpe it was a similar story. When Sharpe last faced the Cardinals back in October of 2023, he rushed for 257 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 15.1 yards per carry.

Karvin Magwood Makes It Two for New Bern
Another New Bern player making an appearance on this list is Karvin Magwood. He rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Magwood might have his next game, a road matchup with D.H. Conley, circled on his calendar. Magwood rushed for 154 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries the last time he and the Vikings duked it out back in October of 2023.
