3A Region 4 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!
Eason Came Up Big in Dadeville's 54-16 Win
Starting off the list is Dadeville's Brandez Eason, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Eason rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries. He is becoming a predictor of Dadeville's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 0-5 when he doesn't).
Unfortunately for Childersburg, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Eason. When Eason last faced Childersburg back in October of 2023, he rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.8 yards per carry.

Jay Burns Turns in Season-Best Performance
Jay Burns produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Dadeville to the win on Friday. Burns rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 86 yards and a touchdown. Dadeville is 3-1 when Burns posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 0-5 otherwise.
This year, Burns has thrown 2 touchdowns while averaging 62.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to six.

Big Game from Lindsey As Beulah Fell 56-27
Beulah had to settle for second on Friday, but Khamoni Lindsey sure wasn't going down easily. Nobody could stop Lindsey as he rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 61 yards and a touchdown.
Beulah moved to 6-3 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak. Lindsey and Beulah will take on Autauga Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
