5A South 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!
Grady Ohman's Big Game Leads Lakeside over Hope
Grady Ohman continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his tenth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 100 rushing yards. He rushed for 161 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries.
Hope's probably not too fond of Ohman given he always seems to get the better of them. Ohman rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in October of 2023.

"Juney" Atkins Jr Posts Huge Game in 63-7 Victory
Darr?ll "Juney" Atkins Jr's big game helped extend Camden Fairview's winning streak to three on Friday. "Juney" Atkins Jr turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 229 yards and four touchdowns on perfect 11-for-11 passing, while also rushing for 47 yards and a touchdown.
"Juney" Atkins Jr and Camden Fairview will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Hot Springs at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st. "Juney" Atkins Jr will face off against Sean Elia, the Trojans' star quarterback. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
