6A Region II District 16 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Peyton Thomas Goes Supernova in Cypress Ranch Win
Starting off the list is Cypress Ranch's Peyton Thomas, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Thomas rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 32 receiving yards and a touchdown. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
For the year, Thomas has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 12.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 31.82 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 82.64 rushing yards.

Jett Lewis and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Bridgeland picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jett Lewis. Lewis turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 97 yards on only seven carries, while also throwing for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Those 97 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Bridgeland pushed their record up to 10-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. Lewis and Bridgeland will challenge Conroe at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Niklas Fisher Leads Cypress Ranch over Klein Cain
On Friday, Cypress Ranch got the W thanks in part to Niklas Fisher playing the best football he has all season. Fisher picked up 0.5 sacks, made seven total tackles, and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception which he returned one-yard for a touchdown.
This year, Fisher has averaged 7.1 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 1.9 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 21.75
Cypress Woods had to settle for second on Thursday, but Darien Rogers sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the loss, Rogers was still balling out as he threw for 249 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 38 yards.
On the season, Rogers has thrown 28 touchdowns while averaging 207.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 45.73 rushing yards.

On the year, Hinze has caught 10 touchdowns while averaging 45.9 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had four receiving touchdowns.
