4A Central Piedmont 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!
A Season-Best Effort from Lane Albright Leads Mount Tabor over Davie
On Friday, Mount Tabor got the W thanks in part to Lane Albright playing the best football he has all season. Albright threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.4% of his passes, and also rushed for 62 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Davie had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Albright it was a similar story. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Albright saw the War Eagles), he threw for 267 yards and four touchdowns while completing 78.9% of his passes.

Bryce Baker Dazzles in East Forsyth Win
Bryce Baker's big game helped extend East Forsyth's winning streak to seven on Friday. Baker turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 304 yards and four touchdowns while completing 84.6% of his passes.
