TAPPS Division III District 2 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!
Luke Carney Goes Supernova in Dallas Christian Victory
Starting off the list is Dallas Christian's Luke Carney, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carney rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 180 yards and a touchdown while completing 81.8% of his passes. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
If the past is any indication, Carney could be in store for another big game when he takes on Covenant on Friday. Carney threw for 207 yards and three touchdowns while completing 82.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown on only six carries the last time he and the Knights duked it out back in November of 2023.

Manuel Lozano Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Manuel Lozano posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Bishop Gorman over All Saints Episcopal on Friday. Lozano forced a fumble and made 17 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
For the season, Lozano has averaged 9 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 40.87
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Jackson Daniels stepped things up a notch to give All Saints Episcopal the 'W'. Daniels was dynamite, picking up three sacks and making 13 total tackles. He is becoming a predictor of All Saints Episcopal's success: when he posts at least two sacks the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
All Saints Episcopal's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 4-3. Daniels and All Saints Episcopal will host McKinney Christian Academy at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 36.00
Nate Mienk Makes It Two for All Saints Episcopal
Keeping Daniels company is Nate Mienk, a fellow All Saints Episcopal player. He rushed for 56 yards.
On the year, Mienk has averaged 58 rushing yards per game.
