4A-1 Region I District 4 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!
Reed Jerome's Big Game Leads Lampasas over Burnet
Starting off the list is Lampasas's Reed Jerome, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jerome rushed for 107 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 136 yards and two touchdowns.
Jerome must have Burnet's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Jerome last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 169 yards and two touchdowns.
