In this article:
Running backs seemed to rule the game this week, especially with the performance from Manor junior running back Quinten Joyner, who scored six rushing touchdowns against Anderson. However, there are more players that deserve a game ball this week, so check them out below.
1. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="138376" first="Noah" last="Long"] (SO-RB) - Liberty Hill High School (Liberty Hill, TX)</strong>
Stats: 86 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns
2. <strong>Quinten Joyner (JR-RB) - Manor High School (Manor, TX)</strong>
Stats: 306 rushing yards, 6 rushing touchdowns
Joyner has been unstoppable all season but this may be his best performance yet. The Anderson defense simply had no answers for him and he continued to score play after play. This may arguably be one of the best performances in Central Texas this year.
3. <strong>Ryan Sheppard (SR-RB) - Vandegrift High School (Austin, TX)</strong>
Stats: 210 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns
4. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="131369" first="Elijah" last="Oakmon"] (SR-RB) - Pflugerville High School (Pflugerville, TX)</strong>
Stats: 213 rushing yards, 3 rushing touchdowns
Another running back which has proven to be unstoppable, Oakmon was on fire against Georgetown. He showcased not only his speed but his power, and proved once again that he is a tough running back to take down.

5. <strong>Tim Caldwell (SR-QB) - Del Valle High School (Del Valle, TX)</strong>
Stats: 458 passing yards, 6 passing touchdowns
6. <strong>Kyle Koch (SO-WR) - Dripping Springs High School (Dripping Springs, TX)</strong>
Stats: 11 receptions, 124 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns
Koch was electric against the unbeaten Johnson. Koch showcased his route-running abilities and also excellent catching while in traffic. Even though he was under tight coverage, he was able to grab the touchdown on one of his scoring plays.
7. <strong>Christian Edgar (SR-QB) - Westlake High School (Austin, TX)</strong>
Stats: 211 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 114 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns
Despite the absence of senior quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="60713" first="Cade" last="Klubnik"] because of injury, Westlake still has great talent in the quarterback spot with Edgar, who is a menace both on the ground and through the air. He is putting up running back-like numbers and has shown just why Westlake is one of the best teams for young talent.
8. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="60848" first="Jaden" last="Greathouse"] (JR-WR) - Westlake High School (Austin, TX)</strong>
Stats: 6 receptions, 141 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns
Greathouse also had a big day and was Edgar’s favorite target for the game. Even more so, Greathouse showcased just how much points and yards he can put up every time he is given the ball.
9. <strong>Nacari Higgenbothom (SR-DB) - Wagner High School (San Antonio, TX)</strong>
Stats: 2 interceptions
Higgenbothom was a ball hawk all game against South San Antonio. He was always focused on the quarterback but was able to do so without giving up coverage of his receiver.
10. <strong>Nathan Axtell (SR-WR) - Johnson City High School (Johnson City, TX)</strong>
Stats: 2 receptions, 73 receiving yards, 2 receiving touchdowns
