1A/2A Yadkin Valley 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!
Kaine Mclendon Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Kaine McLendon posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Albemarle over South Stanly on Friday. McLendon rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns.
Albemarle has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season. McLendon and Albemarle will square off against Mount Pleasant at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 56.55
A Season-Best Performance from Breshen Bennett Leads Union Academy over Mount Pleasant
Union Academy came up short on Friday despite Breshen Bennett delivering his best game to date. Bennett picked up 117 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
For the season, Bennett has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 48.1 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 48.62
David Wignot and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Lake Norman Charter picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to David Wignot. Wignot did his part (and then some), throwing for 232 yards and two touchdowns while completing 81.3% of his passes for the 'W'. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making nine total tackles and defending a pass.
If history really does repeat itself, Wignot might just drop another big game when he faces off against Union Academy on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Wignot saw the Cardinals), he threw for 269 yards and six touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 33 yards.
Gamescore: 39.17
Major Leak Turns in Season-Best Effort
Lake Norman Charter was led to victory by Major Leak, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Leak picked up 156 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 69 yards.
Leak is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Union Academy on Friday. When Leak last faced the Cardinals back in October of 2023, he picked up 182 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 34.65
Parker Frashier Delivers Best Performance of Season
Union Academy came up short on Friday despite Parker Frashier delivering his best game to date. Frashier threw for 209 yards and three touchdowns on only 17 passes.
On the year, Frashier has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 149 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging four rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 41.71 rushing yards.
