Noah Thomas Noah Thomas 5'11" | 150 lbs | QB Belton-Honea Path | 2026 State SC QB, Belton-Honea Path
The Bears are usually grabbing attention thanks to their powerful rushing attack, and BHP did plenty on Friday. But Thomas stepped up in a big way. He finished 15-of-19 through the air, throwing for 267 yards and four TDs. If anyone ever slows down the Bears’ run game, Thomas is more than capable of making big plays.
Darius Latimer Darius Latimer 5'11" | 180 lbs | ATH Crescent | 2025 SC RB, Crescent
Latimer continued his good season so far for the Tigers. He carried 14 times for 146 yards and a pair of scores for Crescent, adding three receptions for 10 yards.
Ja’Kari Bennett and Tory Shaw RBs, Daniel
Bennett and Shaw showcased just how strong the Lions can be on the ground in a huge win over Riverside. Bennett rushed for 119 and two scores on just 12 carries, while Shaw turned 11 attempts into 74 yards and three scores.
Luke Sullivan RB, Easley
Sullivan provides a feature back for Easley’s offense, and he looked good on Friday night. He rushed for 173 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries.
Luke Gray Luke Gray 6'1" | 165 lbs | QB Pendleton | 2024 State SC QB, Pendleton
Pendleton absolutely demolished Palmetto 61-7, and Gray is a huge part of the reason why. He finished 24-of-30 for 329 yards and seven touchdowns in the rout.
DeMarco Evans and Sharode Richardson Sharode Richardson 5'11" | 175 lbs | RB Westside | 2025 State SC RBs, Westside
For the second straight week, Evans and Richardson set the tone for the Rams. Evans had 92 yards and two scores on 19 carries, while Richardson had eight carries for 115 yards and a 64-yard score.
Dashun Reeder Dashun Reeder 5'10" | 175 lbs | RB Christ Church | 2024 State SC RB, Christ Church
Reeder did what he usually does – 15 carries, 124 yards, three TDs, and a big win for the Cavliers. He’s a steady performer on one of the state’s best 1A team, and he looks primed for another run at a title.
Jordan Sink Jordan Sink 5'10" | 180 lbs | QB Woodmont | 2025 State SC QB, Woodmont
Sink has been a bright spot for the Wildcats, throwing for more than 1,000 yards and 12 TDs. Friday night, he was good for 281 and two scores for Woodmont.
Kalab Sutton Kalab Sutton 6'3" | 175 lbs | QB Hillcrest | 2025 State SC QB Hillcrest
Sutton (pictured) is one of the most electrifying athletes in the area, and Friday night showed why. He accounted for four TDs for the rams, running for three and throwing for one.
