4A Region 5 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Javion Kinnard Dazzles in Pearl-Cohn Victory
Starting off the list is Pearl-Cohn's Javion Kinnard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kinnard rushed for 139 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Kinnard might have his next game, a road matchup with Greenbrier, circled on his calendar. When Kinnard last faced the Bobcats back in October of 2023, he rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Performance from Kelton Crisp Leads Station Camp over White House
Station Camp was led to victory by Kelton Crisp, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Crisp wasn't messing around, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making 11 total tackles (5.0 for loss). The contest was his seventh straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Station Camp's win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 2-5. Crisp and Station Camp will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Creek Wood on October 18th.

Marshall County Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Tyler Thompson
Tyler Thompson's big game helped extend Marshall County's winning streak to seven on Friday. Creek Wood had no answer to Thompson as he threw for 224 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Thompson is crushing it when it comes to passing touchdowns: he's passed for at least three every time he's taken the field this season.
Marshall County's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Thompson and Marshall County are on the road again on Friday to play Montgomery Central at 7:00 p.m.

Big Game from Overbey As Station Camp Won 38-8
The second Station Camp player making an appearance here is Colton Overbey, and for good reason. He threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns while completing 81% of his passes, and also rushed for 42 yards.
On the season, Overbey has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 223.4 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 52 passing yards per game.

William Miranda Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, William Miranda posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Montgomery Central over Fairview on Friday. Miranda rushed for 89 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.
Montgomery Central's defeat dropped their record down to 1-6. Miranda and Montgomery Central have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Marshall County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
