GIAA AAAA/AAA 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!
John Robert Walker Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Tiftarea Academy's John Robert Walker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Walker wasn't messing around on Friday, throwing for 233 yards and four touchdowns on only 16 passes, while also rushing for 106 yards and two touchdowns. The matchup was his sixth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
Tiftarea Academy's win was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Walker and Tiftarea Academy will head out to square off against Brookwood at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 58.73
Snellgrove Posts Huge Game in 42-6 Win
Tayt Snellgrove was a major factor in Valwood's win over Terrell Academy on Friday. Nobody could stop Snellgrove as he threw for 161 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes, and also rushed for 42 yards.
Snellgrove and Valwood are taking a road trip to challenge Deerfield-Windsor at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Snellgrove took on the Knights, he rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 35.23
Deerfield-Windsor had to settle for second on Friday, but Cole Jones sure wasn't going down easily. Jones turned in nothing short of a gem, making ten total tackles.
For the year, Jones has averaged 2.9 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he had seven rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 15.
Gamescore: 29.95
Gabe Daniel Makes It Two for Deerfield-Windsor
Keeping Jones company is Gabe Daniel, a fellow Deerfield-Windsor player. He picked up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making eight total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
On the season, Daniel has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 81.8 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 28.5 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 29.30
John Jackson Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Tiftarea Academy got the W thanks in part to John Jackson playing the best football he has all season. Jackson picked up 143 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Jackson and Tiftarea Academy will venture away from home to face off against Brookwood at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Jackson up against the Warriors' star WR Seth Boggs. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
