But he wasn’t the only player from the Pee Dee and Grand Strand to have a great individual performance that helped his team to a win. These five are worthy of some special recognition.
Emmanuel Deas, RB, Aynor
Deas doesn’t get a ton of carries – it’s a product of him starting on the defensive line, too – even for an offense that routinely ends up with north of 40 rushes per game. In a 54-28 win over Lakewood, though, Deas made his seven touches count. The fullback had 101 yards (his first career 100-yard rushing performance) and four touchdowns. He split his four trips to the end zone one per quarter.
JaShaun Dorsey, QB, Kingstree
In the win over Green Sea Floyds, the junior had his best game to date. He threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns. Dorsey is finding a nice connection with top receiver Nic Brown Nic Brown 6'4" | 220 lbs | ATH Kingstree | 2023 State SC (who has caught more than half of Kingstree’s passes this year). What he’s also doing is giving the Blazers just enough of a running aspect to help out this offense. He rushed seven times for 34 yards in new Kingstree’s first program victory.
Nashaun Frison, LB, West Florence
If defensive players could be broken out for fantasy football purposes, Frison would have given someone a whole bunch of points. Against Dreher on Friday, the 6-foot-1, 195-pound senior had three solo tackles, an assisted stop, a sack, an additional tackle for loss, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and a defensive score.
Devin Grainger Devin Grainger 6'1" | 170 lbs | QB Conway | 2024 State SC , QB, Conway
As the Tigers get closer and closer to full strength, we’re seeing what type of quarterback Grainger can be. In a 33-13 win over North Myrtle Beach, the junior had his best passing game of the season by completing 12-of-19 attempts for 227 yards and two touchdowns. More importantly, he ran kept his season-long streak of games without an interception going.
Lavon White, RB, Andrews
The junior had his breakout game of 2022 by running for 154 yards and two touchdowns in Andrews’ 32-12 win at Hannah-Pamplico. White (pictured) did all that in 16 carries, meaning he was effective for an offense that likes to spread it around with its running game. Not so coincidentally, Andrews is picking up momentum at the right time. White’s effort helped the Yellow Jackets win their third straight game.
