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!
Jones Posts Huge Game in 37-30 Victory
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 the past is any indication, Jones could be in store for another big game when he takes on Glencoe on Friday. Jones rushed for 201 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Yellowjackets duked it out back in October of 2023.
