3A Region 2 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!
Kadyn Mitchell Goes Supernova in Houston Academy Win
Starting off the list is Houston Academy's Kadyn Mitchell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mitchell threw for 300 yards and five touchdowns while completing 92.9% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Mitchell is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Northside Methodist Academy on Friday. Mitchell threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes the last time he and the Knights duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 43.60
Reid Mcbride and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Reid Mcbride's big game helped extend Montgomery Academy's winning streak to four on Friday. Slocomb had no answer to Mcbride as he threw for 229 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes. Mcbride has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last five times he's played.
For the year, Mcbride has thrown 22 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 216.5 passing yards per game.

Big Game from Vinson As Montgomery Academy Won 50-12
Keeping Mcbride company is D.J. Vinson, a fellow Montgomery Academy player. He picked up 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Slocomb had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Vinson it was a similar story. When Vinson last faced the Red Tops back in October of 2023, he picked up 234 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 29.42
Gabe Glover Makes It Two for Houston Academy
