DJ Davis Delivers Electric Performance Vs Farmville Central
Starting off the list is West Craven's DJ Davis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Davis rushed for 123 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 111 yards and two touchdowns. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
With the victory, West Craven broke their four-game losing streak and moved their record to 3-4. Davis and West Craven will venture away from home to take on Greene Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Washington's loss was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 3-4. Melton and Washington will square off against North Pitt at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Able Made His Presence Known in Farmville Central's 45-18 Loss
Farmville Central was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Elijah Able did his best to prevent it. Able was unstoppable, rushing for 173 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 62 yards.
If the past is any indication, Able could be in store for another big game when he takes on Greene Central on Friday. When Able last faced the Rams back in October of 2023, he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also caught a touchdown.

Malik Brown Turns in Season-Best Performance
Malik Brown produced his most outstanding game to date while leading West Craven to the win on Friday. Brown rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Brown is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Greene Central on Friday. Brown rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also picked up 58 receiving yards the last time he and the Rams duked it out back in October of 2023.
