1A Region 1 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!
Dy'lan Johnson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Dy'Lan Johnson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Baldwyn to the win on Friday. Johnson threw for 167 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 43 yards and a touchdown.
Johnson and Baldwyn will welcome East Union at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Bearcats got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Urchins, probably because Johnson had a solid game then too: he punched in two rushing scores, and also threw for 185 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Terrell Robinson Turns in Season-Best Effort
Terrell Robinson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Baldwyn to the win on Friday. Robinson rushed for 78 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries.
Robinson must have Walnut's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Robinson saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries.
