AAAA 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!
Truell Made His Presence Known in New Hampstead's 34-22 Defeat
Starting off the list is New Hampstead's Rashawn Truell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Truell threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. His passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 300 passing yards.
Truell is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Benedictine on Friday. When Truell last faced the Cadets back in September of 2023, he threw for 533 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.7 yards per attempt.

Kory Pettigrew Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Perry got the W thanks in part to Kory Pettigrew playing the best football he has all season. Pettigrew picked up 181 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 67 yards.
The victory was the third in a row for Perry, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Pettigrew and Perry will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Warner Robins at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.
Gamescore: 31.27
Benedictine found a leader in Bubba Frazier as the team took down Wayne County on Friday. Frazier was unstoppable, rushing for 72 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries, while also picking up 51 receiving yards. He has become a key player for Benedictine: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Benedictine is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 4-3 record this season. Frazier and Benedictine will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against New Hampstead at 7:30 p.m. on October 31st.

Ware County now has a losing record at 3-4. Hooks and Ware County will look to defend their home field on Friday against Warner Robins at 7:30 p.m.
