3A Quad County 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!
Jayden Evans Delivers Best Performance of Season
West Johnston was led to victory by Jayden Evans, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Evans wasn't messing around, forcing a fumble and making 16 total tackles (2.0 for loss) in addition to snagging an interception. The contest was his third straight with nine or more total tackles dating back to last season.
The victory was the third in a row for West Johnston, bringing their record for this year to 5-2. Evans will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against C.B. Aycock on Thursday.

Langston Posts Huge Game in 42-20 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Holt Langston stepped things up a notch to give South Johnston the 'W'. Langston turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 122 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries.
South Johnston and Hunt are set to duel on Friday. The matchup will pit Langston up against the Warriors' star rusher J.T. Thomas. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Jamari Giles Makes It Two for West Johnston
Another West Johnston player making an appearance on this list is Jamari Giles. He picked up a sack and made 13 total tackles (7.0 for loss). He is on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made seven or more in the last eight games he's played dating back to last season.
For the season, Giles has averaged 11.7 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging three total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 28.50
Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Antwain Grantham
Antwain Grantham continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 14th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He made 14 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Grantham and C.B. Aycock will challenge West Johnston at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Golden Falcons got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wildcats, probably because Grantham had a solid game then too: he made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?

For the year, Frederick has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 88.9 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns.
