Brown Came Up Big in Harnett Central's 26-19 Win
Starting off the list is Harnett Central's Dj Brown, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Brown picked up 124 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Harnett Central's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).

Jacob Moore Delivers Electric Performance Vs Westover
Jacob Moore was instrumental in extending Terry Sanford's winning streak to five on Friday. Moore was unstoppable, rushing for 59 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 165 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
This season, Moore has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 142.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 89 rushing yards.

Pine Forest has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games, which provided a massive bump to their 5-3 record this season. Carter and Pine Forest will play host again on Friday to welcome Harnett Central, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m.
