2A-2 Region II District 5 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!
Shamrock Gets a Boost from Cook in 54-28 Win
Starting off the list is Shamrock's Philip Cook, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cook rushed for 126 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 181 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Cook must have Memphis's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Cook threw for 266 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 13.3 yards per attempt the last time he and the Cyclones duked it out back in November of 2023.
