5A-2 Region I District 4 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Edward Chumley Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Anna was led to victory by Edward Chumley, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Chumley rushed for 205 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (103.3). He has become a key player for Anna: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least 80 rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
Chumley and Anna will be playing at home against Walnut Grove at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Chumley took on the Wildcats, he rushed for 70 yards on only eight carries, and also caught a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
