2A Region 8 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!
Jamiyon Gray Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Mize's Jamiyon Gray, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Gray picked up 0.5 sacks, made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss), and defended a pass. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (169) he has had since back in August of 2023. His longest rush was for an incredible 73 yards.
Gray is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Heidelberg on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Gray saw the Oilers), he made six total tackles.

Destin Mccray and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Heidelberg picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Destin Mccray. Mccray did his part (and then some), picking up a sack and making five total tackles (2.0 for loss) for the 'W'.
Mccray must have North Forrest's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Mccray last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made ten total tackles.
Gamescore: 26.28
Ti?Jarian Barnes Delivers Electric Performance Vs Mize
Collins was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Ti?Jarian Barnes did his best to prevent it. Barnes was dynamite, rushing for 70 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, while also picking up 35 receiving yards.
Collins now has a losing record at 3-4. Barnes and Collins will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Richton at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
Gamescore: 26.07
Heidelberg Gets a Boost from Craft in 58-0 Win
Another Heidelberg player making an appearance on this list is Chase Craft. He threw for 164 yards and three touchdowns on perfect 7-for-7 passing.
Craft must have North Forrest's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Craft rushed for 77 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 125 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.
