3A Western Foothills Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Wednesday through Monday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Brady Stober and Co. Win 21st in a Row
Brady Stober's big game helped extend Hickory's winning streak to 21 on Wednesday. Stober threw for 453 yards and five touchdowns while completing 92% of his passes, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
Stober must have North Lincoln's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Stober last faced the Knights back in November of 2023, he threw for 230 yards and four touchdowns while completing 81% of his passes.

Tim Folk Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Wednesday, North Lincoln had to settle for second even though Tim Folk put up the best numbers he has all season. Folk rushed for 157 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, and also picked up 62 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 77-yard run.
The loss snapped North Lincoln's losing streak at four games and leaves them with a 4-1 record. They and North Iredell are set to duel on Monday.

Jamien Little's big game helped extend Hickory's winning streak to 21 on Wednesday. Little produced his best game of the campaign : he picked up 210 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
If history really does repeat itself, Little might just drop another big game when he faces off against St. Stephens on Friday. When Little last faced the Indians back in September of 2023, he picked up 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Big Game from Lawless As East Lincoln Won 41-10
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Grant Lawless stepped things up a notch to give East Lincoln the 'W'. Lawless turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 213 yards and three touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes, and also rushing for 50 yards and a touchdown.
This year, Lawless has thrown 20 touchdowns (and and only 3 pick) while averaging 239 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 41.17 rushing yards.

On the year, Daley Ii has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 86.3 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 37 rushing yards per game.
