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!
Kadyn Mitchell Dazzles in Houston Academy Win
Starting off the list is Houston Academy's Kadyn Mitchell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mitchell threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Mitchell might just drop another big game when he faces off against Northside Methodist Academy on Friday. When Mitchell last faced the Knights back in October of 2023, he threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
