2A Foothills 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!
Brian Williams Turns in Season-Best Performance
Surry Central was led to victory by Brian Williams, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Williams picked up 169 receiving yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 68 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Forbush had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Williams it was a similar story. Williams rushed for 64 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 37 receiving yards the last time he and the Falcons duked it out back in October of 2023.
