3A Region 6 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!
Big Game from Jones As Ohatchee Won 37-30
Starting off the list is Ohatchee's Nate Jones, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jones rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Ohatchee's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
If history really does repeat itself, Jones might just drop another big game when he faces off against Glencoe on Friday. When Jones last faced the Yellowjackets back in October of 2023, he rushed for 201 yards and three touchdowns.

He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
This season, Heard has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 39.5 receiving yards per game.
