2A District 2 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Amari Clemons Delivers Electric Performance Vs Leon
Amari Clemons was instrumental in extending Marianna's winning streak to eight on Friday. Clemons did his part (and then some), rushing for 198 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries for the 'W'. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 119 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Clemons might just drop another big game when he faces off against Holmes County on Friday. When Clemons last faced the Blue Devils back in August of 2023, he rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry.
