SCISA 1A Region II 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!
Mikell Tucker Mathis' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Patrick Henry Academy over Colleton Prep Academy
Starting off the list is Patrick Henry Academy's Mikell Tucker Mathis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mathis rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 128 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 passes. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August.
Patrick Henry Academy has been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-5 record this season. Mathis and Patrick Henry Academy will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Orangeburg Prep at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

Shuford Made His Presence Known in Beaufort Academy's 48-6 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Dietrich Shuford stepped things up a notch to give Beaufort Academy the 'W'. Shuford turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 93 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, while also throwing for 105 yards and a touchdown while completing 88.9% of his passes.
Beaufort Academy's victory bumped their record up to 6-3. Shuford and Beaufort Academy will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Thomas Heyward Academy at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.

If history really does repeat itself, O'Banner might just drop another big game when he faces off against John Paul II on Friday. O'Banner rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also picked up 74 receiving yards the last time he and the Golden Warrriors duked it out back in August of 2023.
