1A/2A Mid-Carolina 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!
Robert Tripp Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Northwood's Robert Tripp, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tripp rushed for 126 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.4).
Graham's probably not too fond of Tripp given he always seems to get the better of them. Tripp picked up 55 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Red Devils duked it out back in October of 2023.

He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 56 yards.
Cummings pushed their record up to 6-1 with the win, which was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season. Witherspoon and Cummings will square off against Northwood at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
