#PRZTN: Week Seven POTW/Game Balls

<h2>Before we start a new week of HS ball here in Tennessee, let's look back to Week 7 and the top performers from one of the best action packed weeks of football so far this season. </h2>     East Tennessee    ‘24 (RB) [player_tooltip player_id='277792' first='Frank' last='Johnson IV'] - Knox. Central   *  25 carr. for 196 yds & 4 TD's *   - Johnson has been a force this season that defense's have had a hard time slowing down, which in turn has made him a prime candidate for Mr. Football. Performances like this one continue to put him at the top of that list and someone that continues to boost his recruiting stock.    Middle Tennessee    (WR) [player_tooltip player_id='207352' first='London' last='Humphreys'] - CPA    * 9 rec. for 232 yds & 4 TD's *   - Even though the Lions fell in another close game, it wasn't from the lack of effort from Humphreys as he had a monster game and remains hot as we head down the final stretch of the season. The future Vanderbilt Commodore has been putting up big numbers lately and has become a mismatch problem for opposing defenders.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/02/lhumphreys.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-291761" width="353" height="494" /></figure>   West Tennessee    (Edge) [player_tooltip player_id='341537' first='Ethen' last='Smith'] - Arlington   * 11 tcks, 5 TFL, 2 FF & 4 sacks *   - This performance from Smith came in a loss to Whitehaven but he definitely came to play as he wrecked havoc in the Tigers backfield all night long. Smith had a career night with four sacks and really showed progression in his game with his speed and explosion off the edge. Games like this are what will help Smith further his college recruitment.    Class 1A   (RB) Slate Shropshire - Cosby:  26 carr. for 340 yds & 5 TD's (6 tcks, 1 PD on Def.)
