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!
Antonio Armstrong Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Kings Mountain's Antonio Armstrong, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Armstrong wasn't messing around on Friday, forcing a fumble, making 16 total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown. The match was his ninth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
For the year, Armstrong has averaged 11.4 total tackles per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.14 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 41.00
While Chanyce Ford delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for South Point. Despite the defeat, Ford was still balling out as he made nine total tackles.
The loss snapped South Point's winning streak at five games and leaves them with a 5-1 record. Ford and South Point will be playing in front of their home fans against Forestview at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Brown Made His Presence Known in Huss' 46-0 Victory
Javarion Brown's big game helped extend Huss's winning streak to three on Friday. North Gaston had no answer to Brown as he threw for 220 yards and four touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 31 yards. Brown has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
This season, Brown has thrown 16 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 209.2 passing yards per game.

Gene Neely Makes It Two for Huss
Keeping Brown company is Gene Neely, a fellow Huss player. He made 11 total tackles.
On the season, Neely has averaged 10.3 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two receiving touchdowns. This year he is already up to four.
