AA 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!
Jonathan Clarkson's Big Game Leads North Central over Chesterfield
Starting off the list is North Central's Jonathan Clarkson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Clarkson rushed for 252 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. He is becoming a predictor of North Central's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
The victory snapped North Central's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-3 record. Clarkson and North Central will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Cheraw at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.

Cam Mcclendon Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Cheraw got the W thanks in part to Cam McClendon playing the best football he has all season. McClendon rushed for 224 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Cheraw's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the season, McClendon has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 123.2 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he had four rushing touchdowns.

Tray Wilson Delivers Best Performance of Season
Tray Wilson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Central to the win on Friday. Wilson picked up 160 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a rushing score. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 85 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Wilson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Cheraw on Friday. When Wilson last faced the Braves back in October of 2023, he rushed for 109 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.
