AAAAA Region 2 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!
Antwann Hill Jr Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Antwann Hill Jr produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Houston County to the win on Friday. Hill Jr threw for 489 yards and eight touchdowns while completing 74.2% of his passes, and also picked up 30 receiving yards. He's now once again averaging 300+ passing yards (314) per game. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
The victory was the third in a row for Houston County, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Hill Jr and Houston County will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Coffee at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

Jaylen Johnson and Co. Win 22nd in a Row
Thomas County Central picked up their 22nd consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jaylen Johnson. Nobody could stop Johnson as he threw for 405 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 14.5 yards per attempt.
Johnson and Thomas County Central will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Northside at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th. The Yellow Jackets got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Johnson had a solid game then too: he threw for 197 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
