2A Eastern Plains 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!
DJ Davis Delivers Electric Performance Vs Farmville Central
Starting off the list is West Craven's DJ Davis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Davis rushed for 123 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
With the win, West Craven broke their four-game losing streak and moved their record to 3-4. Davis will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Greene Central on Friday.

Keondrick Melton Turns in Another Game with at Least 104 Rushing Yards
Keondrick Melton continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his sixth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 104 rushing yards. He rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns.
Washington dropped their record down to 3-4 with the defeat, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Melton and Washington will take on North Pitt at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Elijah Able Goes Supernova in Farmville Central Loss
While Farmville Central might've come up empty on Friday, Elijah Able wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Able as he rushed for 173 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
Able is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Greene Central on Friday. When Able last faced the Rams back in October of 2023, he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also caught a touchdown.

Malik Brown Turns in Season-Best Performance
West Craven was led to victory by Malik Brown, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Brown rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
If history really does repeat itself, Brown might just drop another big game when he faces off against Greene Central on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Brown saw the Rams), he rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also picked up 58 receiving yards.
