<p>Hurricane Helene changed that as the S.C. High School League added an extra week to adjust to schedule changes.</p>

<p>So now there's an extra week to highlight strong regular season performances, like those deserving of Week 10 Game Balls:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='272702' first='Jevon' last='Edwards'] </strong>RB, South Aiken</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The senior All-State performer tormented rival Aiken a final time. A year after posting a school-record 442 yards and six touchdowns, he followed it with 338 yards to surpass 2,000 yards on the season, including a 96-yard scoring scamper for his fourth touchdown in the 26-14 win.</p>

<p><strong>Briceon Braxton </strong>DB, South Aiken</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He accounted for two of the three forced turnovers by the Thoroughbreds with an interception and fumble recovery.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Stetson Shack </strong>ATH, Hunter-Kinard-Tyler</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The “quiet assassin” for the Trojans proved lethal on both sides of the football. He rushed for two touchdowns and returned an interception for a touchdown in the 60-8 win over Ridge Spring-Monetta.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Emauri Blue </strong>DL, Hunter-Kinard-Tyler</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1031336' first='Corey' last='Tillman'] </strong>QB, North Augusta</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The senior standout completed 8-12 passes for 176 yards and four touchdowns against Strom Thurmond. He also rushed for 72 yards and a score in the 45-21 victory.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1254097' first='Deondre' last='Baskett'] </strong>DL, North Augusta</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The senior defensive end continues to shore up the Yellow Jackets' front. He had several sacks and played a role in slowing down Strom Thurmond in the second half.</p>

<p>The University of South Carolina commit helped the Hawks rebound from a lopsided loss to Hunter-Kinard-Tyler with touchdown runs of 69 and 15 yards and a two-point conversion in the 20-6 win over Williston-Elko.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1530765' first='Darius' last='Walker'] </strong>RB, Aiken</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The sophomore tailback had 132 total yards and caught a touchdown for the Hornets in the loss to archrival South Aiken.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Shaheed Williams </strong>and <strong>Bryson Coleman</strong> LBs and <strong>Gregory Moore </strong>DB, both of Strom Thurmond</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
