AAAAAA Region 1 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!
Marvis Parrish's Big Game Leads Lowndes over Richmond Hill
Starting off the list is Lowndes's Marvis Parrish, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Parrish rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 33 receiving yards. Those 140 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Parrish and Lowndes will play host again on Friday to welcome Valdosta, where kickoff is scheduled at 8:00 p.m. Parrish will face off against Todd Robinson, the Wildcats' star QB. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Day'shawn Brown Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Day'Shawn Brown produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Colquitt County to the win on Friday. Brown rushed for 189 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 45 yards and a touchdown. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (103.9). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Brown might have his next game, a home matchup with Richmond Hill, circled on his calendar. Brown rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in November of 2023.

Ramsey Dennis Jr. Turns in Season-Best Effort
Ramsey Dennis Jr. produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Colquitt County to the win on Friday. Dennis Jr. rushed for 91 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in November of 2023.
Camden County's probably not too fond of Dennis Jr. given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Dennis Jr. saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 111 yards on only 11 carries, and also picked up 31 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Easterling Posts Huge Game in 28-7 Defeat
Richmond Hill had to settle for second on Friday, but Caleb Easterling sure wasn't going down easily. Easterling was unstoppable, rushing for 62 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, while also picking up 60 receiving yards. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 59 yards.
For the year, Easterling has averaged 22.6 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 57.33 rushing yards.

Jordan Hardy Has Career Rushing Day
Jordan Hardy posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 37 receiving yards. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 50 yards.
Hardy and Camden County will host Tift County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Hardy will face off against Kamari Holloman, the Blue Devils' star RB. 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.
