4A Region 5 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!
Javion Kinnard Dazzles in Pearl-Cohn Victory
Starting off the list is Pearl-Cohn's Javion Kinnard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kinnard rushed for 139 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 85 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Kinnard is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Greenbrier on Friday. When Kinnard last faced the Bobcats back in October of 2023, he rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 90 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Kelton Crisp Turns in Season-Best Effort
Kelton Crisp produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Station Camp to the win on Friday. Crisp wasn't messing around, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making 11 total tackles (5.0 for loss). The match was his seventh straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Station Camp's win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 2-5. Crisp and Station Camp will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Creek Wood on October 18th.

Marshall County Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Tyler Thompson
Marshall County picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Tyler Thompson. Nobody could stop Thompson as he threw for 224 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.7 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Thompson is crushing it when it comes to passing touchdowns: he's passed for at least three every time he's taken the field this season.
Marshall County pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Thompson and Marshall County are on the road again on Friday to play Montgomery Central at 7:00 p.m.
