Christian (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Russell Christian Academy Gets a Boost from Jones in 68-8 Victory
Ty Jones's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his 14th-straight game with 106+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 141 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 59 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Jones might have his next game, a home matchup with Tuscaloosa Christian, circled on his calendar. Jones rushed for 220 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also threw for 72 yards and a touchdown the last time he and Tuscaloosa Christian duked it out back in September.

Colby Harrison Delivers Electric Effort Vs Clay County Christian Academy
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Thursday Colby Harrison stepped things up a notch to give Cornerstone Christian the 'W'. Harrison turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, while also catching a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made ten total tackles (4.0 for loss).
If the past is any indication, Harrison could be in store for another big game when he takes on Jacksonville Christian Academy on Friday. Harrison rushed for 91 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Thunder duked it out last Friday.

Bo Morphis Has Career Rushing Day
Bo Morphis posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 20 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Morphis and Russell Christian Academy will challenge Tuscaloosa Christian on Friday. Russell Christian Academy got just the result they wanted when they last faced Tuscaloosa Christian, probably because Morphis had a solid game then too: he threw for 102 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Anglin Posts Huge Game in 40-16 Victory
Alex Anglin's big game helped extend Tuscaloosa Christian's winning streak to five on Friday. Anglin was unstoppable, throwing for 118 yards and four touchdowns.
Anglin and Tuscaloosa Christian will face off against Russell Christian Academy on Friday. The matchup will pit Anglin up against Russell Christian Academy's star QB Bo Morphis. 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.
