3A Region 2 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!
Kadyn Mitchell Dazzles in Houston Academy Victory
Starting off the list is Houston Academy's Kadyn Mitchell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mitchell threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Mitchell could be in store for another big game when he takes on Northside Methodist Academy on Friday. Mitchell threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes the last time he and the Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 43.60
Reid Mcbride and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Reid Mcbride was instrumental in extending Montgomery Academy's winning streak to four on Friday. Nobody could stop Mcbride as he threw for 229 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last five times he's played.
This season, Mcbride has thrown 22 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 216.5 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 32.27
Big Game from Vinson As Montgomery Academy Won 50-12
Keeping Mcbride company is D.J. Vinson, a fellow Montgomery Academy player. He picked up 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Slocomb's probably not too fond of Vinson given he always seems to get the better of them. Vinson picked up 234 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Red Tops duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 29.42
Gabe Glover Makes It Two for Houston Academy
Another Houston Academy player making an appearance on this list is Gabe Glover. He picked up 86 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 54 yards.
This year, Glover has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 88.6 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 22.27
