Starting off the list is West Harrison's Jordan Stapleton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week.

Big Game from Knight As George County Won 48-13
Deuce Knight was a major factor in George County's victory over Long Beach on Friday. Knight was unstoppable, throwing for 219 yards and four touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes, and also punching in a rushing score.
Knight must have Long Beach's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Knight last faced the Bearcats back in October of 2023, he threw for 134 yards and three touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

Montrell Dortch Makes It Two for George County

For the year, Dortch has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 52.6 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 12.71 rushing yards.
