3A-1 Region I District 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!
Price Made His Presence Known in Ponder's 36-26 Win
Starting off the list is Ponder's Tyson Price, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Price threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on only six carries.
For the season, Price has thrown 22 touchdowns while averaging 271.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 18 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 80.86 rushing yards.

Carson Schoppa Delivers Best Effort of Season
Vernon was led to victory by Carson Schoppa, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Schoppa rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 80 yards.
Vernon has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Schoppa and Vernon will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Bowie at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
