1A/2A Waccamaw 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!
Johnson Came Up Big in Pender's 68-30 Victory
Starting off the list is Pender's Jeremiah Johnson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Johnson rushed for 218 yards and seven touchdowns. Johnson is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 121 every time he's taken the field this season.
Hobbton's probably not too fond of Johnson given he always seems to get the better of them. Johnson rushed for 377 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in October of 2023.
