4A Region 1 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!
Gabriel Holmes Dazzles in Gravette Victory
Gabriel Holmes's big game helped extend Gravette's winning streak to seven on Friday. Berryville had no answer to Holmes as he rushed for 120 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. Holmes is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in three or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
Holmes must have Berryville's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Holmes saw the Bobcats), he threw for 215 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 66 yards on only five carries.
