Social media was a seemingly never-ending scroll of unreal highlights from the action on October 6 and 7, with X (formerly Twitter) showcasing the must-see moments from around the country.
After the clocks hit zero in the fourth, the USA TODAY HSS staff scoured the best of the best and settled on these five athletes who were truly “X” Factors on the gridiron.
Let’s give a standing-O to the following HSS Players of the Week:
– Winnie Watkins, First Baptist Academy (Fla.)
– Khaleal Sterling, Miami Central (Fla.)
– Ju’Juan Johnson, Lafayette Christian Academy )La.)
– Jaxon Branch, Chandler (Ariz.)
– Micah Hudson, Lake Belton (Texas)
Note from the HSS team: To possibly have an athlete featured in our weekly selection, DM the highlight videos to USA TODAY High School Sports on Instagram or Twitter.
