Sunshine State - Bay (8 Man) 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!
Wade Brashears Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Lake Mary Prep's Wade Brashears, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Brashears rushed for 59 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 184 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Lake Mary Prep's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
The victory got Lake Mary Prep back to even at 4-4. Brashears and Lake Mary Prep will venture away from home to face off against Liberty Christian Prep at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.

Ocala Christian Wins Ninth-Straight Thanks to Troy Wade
Ocala Christian picked up their ninth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Troy Wade. Wade turned in his biggest game of the season, picking up two sacks and making nine total tackles (3.0 for loss). He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 75 yards.
Ocala Christian's victory was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-0. Wade and Ocala Christian will play host again on Friday to welcome Liberty Christian Prep, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m.
