AAAAAA Region 6 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Josiah Saunders Goes Supernova in Lambert Defeat
Starting off the list is Lambert's Josiah Saunders, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Saunders rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. He is becoming a predictor of Lambert's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
The loss snapped Lambert's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-3 record. Saunders and Lambert will square off against Alpharetta at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Max Haertel Delivers Best Performance of Season
Forsyth Central came up short on Friday despite Max Haertel delivering his best game to date. Haertel rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 50 yards.
Haertel and Forsyth Central will challenge Denmark at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The matchup will pit Haertel up against the 's star RB Noah Laban. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Orris Posts Huge Game in 37-14 Win
West Forsyth found a leader in Foster Orris as the squad took down Forsyth Central on Friday. Orris turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 108 yards and a touchdown, while also picking up 60 receiving yards.
Unfortunately for Forsyth Central, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Orris. Orris rushed for 136 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also picked up 61 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in October of 2023.

Max Walraven Makes It Two for West Forsyth
Another West Forsyth player making an appearance on this list is Max Walraven. He threw for 250 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.5 yards per attempt.
Walraven is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against South Forsyth on Friday. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Walraven saw the War Eagles), he threw for 194 yards and five touchdowns on only 17 passes.
