1A Northwest 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!
Luke Collins Delivers Electric Effort Vs East Wilkes
Starting off the list is Starmount's Luke Collins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Collins threw for 204 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 passes, and also rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown.
Collins might have his next game, a home matchup with South Stokes, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Collins saw the Sauras), he threw for 160 yards and four touchdowns while completing 87.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 34 yards.

South Stokes' Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Parker Barron
Thanks in part to Parker Barron, South Stokes said goodbye to their nine-game losing streak dating back to last season. Barron picked up 107 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 50 yards.
South Stokes' first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-7. Barron and South Stokes will be playing in front of their home fans against Starmount at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Starmount Gets a Boost from Crater in 35-20 Win
The second Starmount player making an appearance here is Kinston Crater, and for good reason. He picked up 68 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 58 yards.
Crater is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against South Stokes on Thursday. Crater rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries the last time he and the Sauras duked it out back in October of 2023.
