2A/3A Northeastern Coastal 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!
Derek Joyner Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Hertford County got the W thanks in part to Derek Joyner playing the best football he has all season. Joyner rushed for 159 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 38 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Hertford County and Camden County will meet on Friday for a tough Bear Battle. The contest will pit Joyner up against the Bruins' star running back Cam Sylvester. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.

Trevaris Jones Delivers Electric Performance Vs Camden County
Northeastern picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Trevaris Jones. Jones was unstoppable, throwing for 389 yards and four touchdowns while completing 82.6% of his passes.
Jones and Northeastern will face off against Manteo at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Jones took on the Redskins, he threw for 157 yards and two touchdowns on only eight passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
