Ke'mari Mcneil Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Midway's Ke'Mari McNeil, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. McNeil made six total tackles.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Midway, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. McNeil and Midway will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against West Bladen at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

Quintell Mcneill Delivers Best Performance of Season
St. Pauls was led to victory by Quintell Mcneill, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Mcneill rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
St. Pauls pushed their record up to 4-2 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Mcneill's next game is against Red Springs on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Blue Made His Presence Known in Midway's 45-28 Win
The second Midway player making an appearance here is Gehemiah Blue, and for good reason. He made eight total tackles (1.0 for loss).
On the year, Blue has averaged 5.5 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 18.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 89.83 rushing yards.

Jakelsin Mack Delivers Electric Effort Vs Fairmont
Jakelsin Mack helped snap Red Springs's six-game losing streak dating back to last season. Nobody could stop Mack on Friday as he rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also picked up 33 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately for Fairmont, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Mack. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Mack saw the Golden Tornadoes), he rushed for 147 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries.
