Bennett Judy Bennett Judy 6'3" | 195 lbs | QB Hillcrest | 2023 State SC and Avery McFadden Avery McFadden 5'10" | 175 lbs | WR Hillcrest | 2024 State SC , Hillcrest
These guys are one entry because their performances on Friday were pretty much inseparable. Both set new Hillcrest records in the Rams’ first-ever win over Greer. Judy threw for a school-record 456 yards, and fell one TD short of a school record in tossing six TDs. Three of those touchdowns were to McFadden, who hauled in a school-record 241 yards, including those scores of 66, 81, and 24 yards.
Dashun Reeder Dashun Reeder 5'10" | 175 lbs | RB Christ Church | 2024 State SC , Christ Church
Reeder had a huge week for the Cavaliers, with 19 carries for 195 rushing yards and four TDs on the ground.
Mazeo Bennett Mazeo Bennett 6'0" | 170 lbs | ATH Greenville | 2024 State SC , Greenville
Bennett had four receptions for 93 yards and two TD receptions in the Cavaliers’ loss to T.L. Hanna.

Cates notched his second straight week with a receiving TD, bringing his total to four. He fell one yard short of another 100-yard receiving performance, catching eight balls for 99 yards as Mann defeated Riverside.
