<p style="font-weight: 400;">The final week of the regular season saw several players produce outstanding performances as teams secured a playoff berth or earned the right to host a game. A couple of players on the list were just so impressive, we couldn’t leave them off.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="89314" first="Kazarius" last="Adams"], Gray Collegiate</strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Adams is no stranger to this list, but he might have saved his best for last. The senior running back ran for 316 yards and six touchdowns to lead the War Eagles to a 56-29 victory over Newberry. That puts him over 2,000 yards rushing on the season. The win clinched the Region 3-2A championship.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Nick Emmanwori, Irmo</strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The South Carolina commitment registered 20 tackles, three tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in a 17-10 win over Lugoff-Elgin.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Michael Fields, Pelion</strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Fields totaled 15 tackles, four tackles for loss, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in a 31-28 victory over Edisto. The victory secured the No. 3 seed in Region 5-2A.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Jaquez Frederick, White Knoll</strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Timberwolves season was on the line and Frederick came up big to extend it at least one more week. He had 27 carries for 190 yards that included touchdown runs of five and 96 yards in a 28-21 win over River Bluff. That clinched a playoff spot for White Knoll.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="91245" first="Isom" last="Harris"], C.A. Johnson</strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Harris helped lead the Green Hornets to a second-place finish in Region 2-A with a 38-13 win over McBee. He was 7-of-13 passing for 244 yards and three touchdowns to give C.A. Johnson a home playoff game this week.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Randall McDaniel, Columbia</strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Randall helped the Capitals earn the final playoff spot from Region 3-2A with a 26-14 win over Eau Claire. He ran for 102 yards and two scores to go along with a 75-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.</p>
