5A District 3 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!
Bailey Posts Huge Game in 46-21 Defeat
Starting off the list is Sam Houston's Drew Bailey, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bailey rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Bailey might have his next game, a home matchup with Carencro, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bailey saw the Bears), he rushed for 229 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.5 yards per carry.

Brodie Depriest Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sulphur was led to victory by Brodie DePriest, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. DePriest rushed for 43 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 139 yards and a touchdown while completing 73.3% of his passes.
Sulphur moved to 3-3 with that victory, which also ended their three-game losing streak. DePriest and Sulphur will challenge Southside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Tyler Joubert Makes It Two for Sulphur
Keeping DePriest company is Tyler Joubert, a fellow Sulphur player. He rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 54 receiving yards.
On the year, Joubert has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 61 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 17.85
Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Keaton Sonnier
Keaton Sonnier continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his ninth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He made 13 total tackles.
Southside's probably not too fond of Sonnier given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Sonnier saw the Sharks), he forced a fumble and made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Gamescore: 15.75
A Constellation of Stars for Sam Houston
Another Sam Houston player making an appearance on this list is Cameron Mayo. He made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss). He has become a key player for Sam Houston: the team is undefeated when he posts at least three total tackles, but 1-2 otherwise.
This season, Mayo has averaged 3.8 total tackles per game.
