AAAAA Region 8 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Ryan Campbell Leads Fort Dorchester over West Ashley
On Friday, Fort Dorchester got the W thanks in part to Ryan Campbell playing the best football he has all season. Campbell rushed for 249 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Fort Dorchester's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Fort Dorchester and James Island are set to duel on Friday. The contest will pit Campbell up against the Trojans' star rusher Jalen Brown-Singleton. Will the matchup be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Trevor Kalisz Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Ashley Ridge got the W thanks in part to Trevor Kalisz playing the best football he has all season. Kalisz threw for 201 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes.
Kalisz must have Stall's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Kalisz threw for 251 yards and five touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.
