3A Central 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!
Ayden Williams Goes Supernova in ALA - Ironwood Win
Starting off the list is ALA - Ironwood's Ayden Williams, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Williams rushed for 345 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 70-yard run.
Williams is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against San Tan Foothills on Friday. When Williams last faced the Sabercats back in October of 2023, he rushed for 365 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.4 yards per carry.

Smith Came Up Big in Florence's 21-12 Loss
Florence had to settle for second on Friday, but Malik Smith sure wasn't going down easily. Smith was dynamite, rushing for 98 yards and a touchdown.
If the past is any indication, Smith could be in store for another big game when he takes on Crismon on Friday. Smith rushed for 134 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.4 yards per carry the last time he and the Rattlers duked it out back in October of 2023.
