Week 3 Game Balls: Greenville, Pickens, Anderson Areas

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Double-digit tackles. Eye-popping rushing totals. Insanely efficient passing. Huge scoring nights.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That's what it took to get on the list for a game ball in Week 3 in the Upstate. Here's a look at a bunch of the area's top performances.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='448996' first='Kalvin' last='Banks']</strong> RB Eastside</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We'll start with the one that made us stop when we saw it. In a win over Blue Ridge, Banks rushed 24 times for 420 yards, an unreal 17.5 yards per carry average, and six touchdowns. None of that is a misprint. It's just an unreal night from the Eagles' workhorse. He caught a pass for 17 yards, too, giving him 437 on the night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15100780/64fdc55804281b0208bf18a0' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64fe3b4bbb280"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='833941' first='KB' last='Henderson']</strong> RB, Blue Ridge</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Banks' counterpart in the Blue Ridge backfield, Henderson did all he could to help the Tigers keep pace. He rushed 26 times for 296 yards and four touchdowns, including a 75-yarder. Henderson is a bright spot for Blue Ridge, and will have the opportunity for a couple more big games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='267466' first='Dashun' last='Reeder']</strong> RB, Christ Church</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reeder (pictured) had a phenomenal night for the Cavaliers, rushing 34 times for 273 yards and all four of Christ Church's touchdowns in a shootout loss to Riverside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ty Breeze</strong> QB, Riverside</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Breeze is a big part of the reason Christ Church couldn't translate Reeder's big night into a win. He matched every big play Christ Church made with a big play of his own, finishing with 306 yards and five TDs in the air, a rushing TD, and a two-point conversion. Breeze tossed four touchdown passes of 40 yards or more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='605525' first='Marquise' last='Henderson']</strong> RB, Belton-Honea Path</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Henderson ran wild against Woodruff, notching 301 yards and five touchdowns on just 14 carries as the Bears' offense continued to roll.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='267431' first='Avery' last='McFadden']</strong> ATH, Hillcrest</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McFadden did a little bit of everything for the Rams. He had seven catches for 73 yards. He carried six times for 58 more. He set up a score with a big punt return, and he played at defensive back. And, he scored all three of Hillcrest's touchdowns in their 21-6 win over Boiling Springs, with two as a short-yardage single back and another on a 41-yard catch-and-run that put the game away.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1144060' first='Ethan' last='Anderson']</strong> QB, J.L. Mann</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In his first game back after missing some time with an injury, Anderson sure didn't show much rust. In a 49-13 win over Easley, Anderson threw for 319 yards and four scores.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ja'Kari Bennett</strong> RB, Daniel</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bennett's 113 yards and two touchdowns don't jump off the page like a bunch of other Week 3 numbers do. That is, until you consider he did that on just 10 carries, and that his totals actually brought his per-carry average DOWN. For the year, he's rushing for more than 17 yards per carry, and averages a touchdown every four rushes or so.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kory Jones</strong> WR, Pendleton</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones came up big for the Bulldogs in a shootout loss to Powdersville. He caught seven passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns for Pendleton, and threw a 20-yard TD pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1144052' first='Johnny' last='Jaraczewski']</strong> LB, St. Joseph's</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Knights have given up 20 points all year, including just seven against 3A Seneca on Friday. Jaraczewski is a big part of the reason why. He notched 13 tackles, including two sacks, in St. Joseph's win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='771064' first='Talan' last='Scott'] </strong>LB, Easley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Scott was all over the field for the Green Wave on Friday. He made 12 tackles, two tackles for loss, a sack, broke up a pass, and blocked a kick. The Eagles have played a tough early schedule, and Scott and the defense can help lead the way through the next couple of games in front of the Wave.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
