1A/2A Mid-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!
Robert Tripp Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Northwood's Robert Tripp, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tripp rushed for 126 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.4).
Unfortunately for Graham, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Tripp. When Tripp last faced the Red Devils back in October of 2023, he picked up 55 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown.

The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 56 yards.
