Danarius Gibson and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Danarius Gibson was instrumental in extending High Point Christian Academy's winning streak to eight on Friday. Gibson was unstoppable, making six total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes.
For the year, Gibson has averaged 2 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 38.63 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 67.38 rushing yards.

Another Game with at Least 301 Passing Yards from Avery Hollifield
Avery Hollifield continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 301 passing yards. He threw for 377 yards and three touchdowns.
This is the second loss in a row for Asheville Christian Academy and nudges their season record down to 2-2. Hollifield and Asheville Christian Academy are on the road again on Friday to play SouthLake Christian Academy at 6:00 p.m.

Holmes Came Up Big in Asheville Christian Academy's 35-18 Loss
Another Asheville Christian Academy player making an appearance on this list is Jack Holmes. He picked up 215 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Holmes and Asheville Christian Academy are on the road again on Friday to play SouthLake Christian Academy at 6:00 p.m. The Lions got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles, probably because Holmes had a solid game then too: he picked up 63 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
