3A/4A Mideastern 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!
A Season-Best Performance from Jacob Monroe Leads New Hanover over North Brunswick
New Hanover was led to victory by Jacob Monroe, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Monroe threw for 335 yards and three touchdowns while completing 89.5% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
On the season, Monroe has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 240.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to three.

Kolbe Little Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Laney got the W thanks in part to Kolbe Little playing the best football he has all season. Little threw for 222 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Little and Laney will venture away from home to take on New Hanover at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Buccaneers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wildcats, probably because Little had a solid game then too: he threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Eli Hebron Dazzles in Topsail Victory

The victory made it two in a row for Topsail and bumps their season record up to 4-2. They and Hoggard are set to duel on Friday.
