3A-2 Region III District 11 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!
Brett Wells Posts Another Huge Game Against Edgewood
Starting off the list is Troup's Brett Wells, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wells rushed for 284 yards and a touchdown while picking up 12.3 yards per carry. Considering he played a big game the last time he faced off against Edgewood on Friday, the result shouldn't come as too huge a shock. The dominant performance gave Wells a new career-high in rushing yards.
Troup's defeat ended a five-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 0-2. Wells and Troup will face off against Harleton at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Bryce Wallum Put Up Big Numbers Against Edgewood (Again)
Another Troup player making an appearance on this list is Bryce Wallum. He rushed for 195 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per carry. He was up against Edgewood, which might explain his strong game: he put up some impressive numbers the last time he faced them back in October of 2023. Wallum showed off some serious burst, taking off on a dash for 55 yards.
