3A-1 Region I District 3 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!
Uriah Martines Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Sweetwater's Uriah Martines, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Martines rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Sweetwater's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
The win (which was Sweetwater's third in a row) raised their record to 5-3. Martines will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Breckenridge on Friday.
Gamescore: 44.87
Logan Brooks Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Logan Brooks posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 55 yards.
Jim Ned's win ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 5-3. Brooks and Jim Ned will be playing at home against Clyde at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Alex Terrell Has Career-Day on Friday
Alex Terrell posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 84 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
Comanche is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. Terrell and Comanche will challenge San Angelo Texas Leadership Charter Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
