Dominique Ball's Big Game Leads Westover over Bainbridge
Starting off the list is Westover's Dominique Ball, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ball rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns. Those 224 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Westover's win bumped their record up to 6-1. Ball and Westover will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Monroe at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

Duncan Jr Came Up Big in Cairo's 35-7 Win
Bryian Duncan Jr was instrumental in extending Cairo's winning streak to four on Friday. Duncan Jr did his part (and then some), rushing for 215 yards while picking up 12.6 yards per carry for the 'W'. His longest rush was for an incredible 90 yards.
Cairo pushed their record up to 4-2 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Duncan Jr and Cairo will play host again on Friday to welcome Monroe, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:30 p.m.

Amarion Donaldson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Amarion Donaldson posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Bainbridge over Westover on Friday. Donaldson picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made nine total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Bainbridge is on an eight-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Donaldson and Bainbridge will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Peach County at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.
Gamescore: 24.75
A Season-Best Performance from Keyon Thomas Leads Westover over Bainbridge
Westover was led to victory by Keyon Thomas, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Thomas threw for 111 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown.
Thomas and Westover will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Monroe at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th. The last time Thomas took on the Golden Tornadoes, he threw for 188 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 21.90
Brooks Hines Turns in Season-Best Performance
Bainbridge came up short on Friday despite Brooks Hines delivering his best game to date. Hines threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns.
Hines and Bainbridge will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Peach County at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th. The game will pit Hines up against the Trojans' star quarterback Don "Dj" Hudson Jr.. 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.
