6A Region II District 15 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!
Oswaldo Morales Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Saturday, Tomball got the W thanks in part to Oswaldo Morales playing the best football he has all season. Morales rushed for 280 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.7 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 133 or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
The win for Tomball keeps them at an undefeated 5-0. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cougars takes on Klein Oak at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Tomball Gets a Boost from Faldyn in 48-43 Victory
Tomball picked up their fifth consecutive win on Saturday thanks in part to Jaxyn Faldyn. Faldyn did his part (and then some), throwing for 295 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75.9% of his passes, and also rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries for the 'W'. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 65 yards.
For the year, Faldyn has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 196.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 34.16 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 106.42 passer rating.

Dixon Came Up Big in Klein Cain's 28-7 Win
Klein Cain found a leader in Jaelon Dixon as the team took down Magnolia on Friday. Dixon turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 130 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 54 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory made it two in a row for Klein Cain and bumps their season record up to 5-1. Dixon and Klein Cain will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Klein Forest at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
