3A Quad County 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!
Ricky Elliott Goes Supernova in C.B. Aycock Win
C.B. Aycock picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ricky Elliott. South Johnston had no answer to Elliott as he rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.8 yards per carry. Elliott showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 53 yards.
South Johnston's probably not too fond of Elliott given he always seems to get the better of them. When Elliott last faced the Trojans back in September of 2023, he rushed for 151 yards.

Jerimiah Peart Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Fike got the W thanks in part to Jerimiah Peart playing the best football he has all season. Peart rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
The victory (which was Fike's third in a row) raised their record to 4-2. Peart and Fike will challenge C.B. Aycock at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cameron Pittman Makes It Two for Fike
Another Fike player making an appearance on this list is Cameron Pittman. He rushed for 63 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 123 yards on 11 of 22 attempts.
This season, Pittman has averaged 144.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to eight.
Gamescore: 30.60
Antwain Grantham Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
On Friday, C.B. Aycock got the W thanks in part to Antwain Grantham playing the best football he has all season. Grantham wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making 12 total tackles (5.0 for loss). The game was his 13th straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Grantham must have South Johnston's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Grantham made 13 total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in September of 2023.
