6A District 6 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!
Malik Holman's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is South Lake's Malik Holman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Holman made six total tackles and defended a pass, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because South Lake is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
South Lake's win ended an eight-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 3-3. It'll be Battle of the Birds when Eagles takes on Horizon at 6:00 p.m. on Monday.

For the year, Walker has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 55.8 receiving yards per game.
