TAIAO Division 1 - South (6 Man) 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!
Charlie Pote Dazzles in BVCHEA Homeschool Win
Starting off the list is BVCHEA HomeSchool's Charlie Pote, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Pote rushed for 120 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 49 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making 11 total tackles in addition to snagging an interception.
The win (which was BVCHEA HomeSchool's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-1. Pote and BVCHEA HomeSchool will challenge Austin Royals HomeSchool at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Evan Spondike Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Gloria Deo Academy got the W thanks in part to Evan Spondike playing the best football he has all season. Spondike picked up 150 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles (1.5 for loss) and defended a pass.
The win was the fourth in a row for Gloria Deo Academy, bringing their record for this year to 6-1. Spondike will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Summit Christian Academy on Friday.

Beck Sherwood and Co. Win Third in a Row
Beck Sherwood was instrumental in extending Founders Classical Academy's winning streak to three on Friday. Sherwood was dynamite, throwing for 325 yards and seven touchdowns while picking up 13.5 yards per attempt.
This season, Sherwood has thrown 23 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 215.8 passing yards per game.

Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles from Boone Tucker
On Friday, BVCHEA HomeSchool got the W thanks in part to Boone Tucker playing the best football he has all season. Tucker wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks, making 15 total tackles (5.0 for loss), and defending two passes. The match was his tenth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
Tucker's next contest is against Austin Royals HomeSchool on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance. The last time Tucker took on the Royals, he picked up a sack and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss). Can he match (or beat) that performance?
