AAAAA 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!
Jaylen Johnson Dazzles in Thomas County Central Win
Starting off the list is Thomas County Central's Jaylen Johnson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Johnson threw for 231 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
This season, Johnson has thrown 19 touchdowns while averaging 217.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 60.34 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 125.96 passer rating.

Kromah Came Up Big in Lee County's 67-10 Victory
Ousmane Kromah's big game helped extend Lee County's winning streak to eight on Friday. Kromah was unstoppable, picking up 96 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 74 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.
Veterans had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Kromah it was a similar story. When Kromah last faced the Warhawks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 151 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 54 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Weston Bryan and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Weston Bryan was instrumental in extending Lee County's winning streak to eight on Friday. Bryan was dynamite, throwing for 276 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.7% of his passes.
Veterans's probably not too fond of Bryan given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bryan saw the Warhawks), he threw for 170 yards and three touchdowns on only 16 passes, and also rushed for 44 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 25.90
Canton Williams was instrumental in extending Lee County's winning streak to eight on Friday. Williams rushed for 66 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
On the year, Williams has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 57 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns.
