4A Region 1 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!
Cameron Bedwell and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Gravette picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Cameron Bedwell. Bedwell rushed for 99 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 85 yards and a touchdown while completing 71.4% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Gravette pushed their record up to 6-0 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Lions challenges Berryville at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Bennett Roberts Leads Gentry over Green Forest
Bennett Roberts produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Gentry to the win on Friday. Roberts made 13 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
For the season, Roberts has averaged 10 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 37.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 116.5 rushing yards.

Kydon Lynch Makes It Two for Gentry
Another Gentry player making an appearance on this list is Kydon Lynch. He wasn't messing around on Friday, picking up a sack and making 12 total tackles (4.0 for loss). The game was his sixth straight with five or more total tackles.

Big Game from Holmes As Gravette Won 55-7
Gabriel Holmes's big game helped extend Gravette's winning streak to six on Friday. Holmes was dynamite, rushing for 48 yards and three touchdowns, while also picking up 36 receiving yards. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in three or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Holmes might just drop another big game when he faces off against Berryville on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Holmes saw the Bobcats), he threw for 215 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 66 yards on only five carries.
