Christian (8 Man) 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!
Ty Jones Delivers Best Performance of Season
Ty Jones produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Russell Christian Academy to the win on Friday. Jones' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his 13th straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 62 yards.
Unfortunately for Victory Christian, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Jones. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jones saw the Eagles), he rushed for 247 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 87 receiving yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Performance from Bo Morphis Leads Russell Christian Academy over Victory Christian
Russell Christian Academy was led to victory by Bo Morphis, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Morphis threw for 200 yards and four touchdowns on only 17 passes, and also rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Morphis has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 71 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 17.19 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 110.63 passer rating.
