#PRZTN: Week Five POTW/Game Balls

<h2>Who were the top players from across the state for Week Five? We got ya covered right here with our weekly game balls and players of the week!! </h2>     East Tennessee    (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='150317' first='Marcellus' last='Jackson'] - Fulton   * 11-22 passing for 228 yds & 3 TD's (21 carr. for 197 yds & 3 TD's) *   - One of the best natural athletes from the in-state ‘23 class, Jackson was a beast last week, producing six total touchdowns in the Falcons 61-55 win over Gibbs. This East Tennessee product is putting together a big senior season that will have him in contention for Mr. Football while also boosting his recruiting stock.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/08/marjackson-1017x1024.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-424403" width="335" height="338" /></figure>     Middle Tennessee    (QB) Garrett Weekly - Friendship Christian     * 9-17 passing for 274 yds & 4 TD's (17 yds rushing & 1 TD) *   - The Commanders are undefeated so far this season and a big reason why has been the play of Weekly. This senior gunslinger and future Stanford Cardinal put together one of his best games of the year last week in the Commanders dominating road win over King's Academy, producing five total touchdowns.     West Tennessee    (WR) Garrett Webber - Peabody    * 5 rec. for 207 yds & 3 TD's *   - Monster showing last week from this Golden Tide senior wideout who was tough to stop as he took three of his five receptions to the house in the teams win last Friday over Greenfield. Webber has become the team's go-to guy on offense this season and a dependable receiver for his quarterback.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/09/gwebber.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-453467" /></figure>     Class 1A   (RB/DE) Thomas Wills - McEwen    * 10 carr. for 209 yds & 6 TD's *   - Wills has been a consistent performer for his McEwen team over the past few years and last week was yet another big game from this 6'2 230 pound thumper. This guy is a prime candidate for Class 1A Mr. Football too by the end of the season.     Class 2A   - (Ath) Zecheriah Prince - East Robertson     * 13 carr. for 243 yds & 4 TD's (43 yds receiving) *   - Prince has become a regular member in this article this year. That's due to him having a breakout season, especially with performances like last week where the 6'2 athlete ran all over his opponent, producing four touchdown's on only 13 touches.     Class 3A   ‘24 (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='239447' first='Kamauri' last='Turner'] - Giles Co.    * 8 carr. for 153 yds & 4 TD's *   - Week by week, Turner is quickly becoming the go-to offensive threat for his Bobcats team and last week he produced one of his best games yet by scoring four times and leading his team to a victory over Community. While he may not get Mr. Football contention this year, Turner is a prime candidate for it next season.     Class 4A   (QB) [player_tooltip player_id='102362' first='Chandler' last='Wilson'] - Carter    * 24-26 passing for 345 yds & 5 TD's *   - Last week in the Hornets big win over Scott, Wilson was almost flawless as he threw only two incompletions while putting up big yards and five touchdowns through the air. One of the top senior quarterbacks out East, Wilson is starting to come into his own after a tough start to the year.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/chanwilson.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-268221" /></figure>     Class 5A   (S) Charles Byerly - Morristown-West    * 9 tcks, 4 solo, 1 TFL & 2 Int's *   - While the Trojans didn't come up with a victory last week, it wasn't from a lack of effort or stellar game play from Byerly as he was everywhere on the field last Friday, causing problems for the opposing team. Performances like this will only boost his stock and turn Byerly into a legit college recruit.     Class 6A   (WR) [player_tooltip player_id='150474' first='Jacob' last='Page'] - Blackman    * 8 rec. for 182 yds & 2 TD's *   - The Blaze had to fight to pull out a win last week over Stewarts Creek and a big reason for that victory came by the play of Page. This 6'2 future college wideout had his best game yet of the season as he was a matchup problem that the Red Hawks could not handle nor control.     D2-Class A   ‘24 (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='149160' first='Brock' last='Montgomery'] - Friendship Christian    * 4 rec. for 152 yds & 2 TD's (2 tcks on Def.) *   - Montgomery is starting to become a regular on this list as he continues to put up big games week by week. The Commanders two-way talent has been dominating at receiver so far this season while providing big play abilities on defense as well.     D2-Class AA    ‘24 (DE/TE) [player_tooltip player_id='342033' first='Parker' last='McClain'] - St. George's    * 7 tcks, 4 solo, 4 TFL & 4 sacks *   - Best game yet this season from McClain as last week he was a beast, wrecking havoc on a consistent basis in the backfield, producing four sacks and causing all sorts of other problems. This 6'6 upside driven prospect is one to watch over the next year as he has the size and length to make it to the next level.     D2-Class AAA   ‘24 (DE/LB) [player_tooltip player_id='149842' first='Carson' last='Gentle'] - McCallie    * 5 tcks, 3.5 TFL, 3 QBH, 1 sack & 1 FR returned for a TD *   - The future Tennessee Vols edge linebacker was a playmaker on the defensive side of the ball last week in McCallie's commanding win over Knox. Catholic where he was a constant presence in the backfield and produced a touchdown on a fumble recovery along with multiple tackles for loss.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/09/cgentle.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-433581" /></figure>       Other Top Performers   Class 1A    - (QB) [player_tooltip player_id='102221' first='Sam' last='Driggers'] - Peabody:  8-10 passing for 271 yds & 4 TD's    - (RB) Aljarea Johnson - Fayetteville:  14 carr. for 150 yds & 3 TD's    - ‘24 (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='301360' first='Kamden' last='Wellington'] - South Pittsburg:  8-14 passing for 209 yds & 3 TD's (75 yds rushing & 1 TD)   - (LB) Will Dudney - Gordonsville: 10 tcks, 9 solo & 2 TFL     Class 2A    - (QB) [player_tooltip player_id='201074' first='Josh' last='Jackson'] - Tyner Acad.:  11-15 passing for 253 yds & 2 TD's    - ‘25 (QB) [player_tooltip player_id='362006' first='Brycen' last='McDonald'] - Lewis Co.:  7-9 passing for 178 yds & 4 TD's    - (RB/LB) Elijah Flowers - Huntingdon: 7 carr. for 130 yds & 1 TD (5 tcks, 3 TFL & 1 sack on Def.)
