#TNHSFB: POTW/Top Performers – Week 4
In this article:
Week Four provided several big performances across the state and it was hard to choose a player of the week for each region but the job was done!
Here are this week’s POTW and top performers
East Tennessee
(QB/S) Luke Myers Luke Myers 6'0" | 190 lbs | QB South Greene | 2022 TN – South Greene …#EastTN22
* 19-23 passing for 395 yds & 3 TD’s; Also had 43 yds rushing & 3 TD’s *
– Over the last several weeks, Myers has produced big numbers but nothing like he did last Friday where he was virtually unstoppable. The Rebels star quarterback produced six total touchdowns and was the key cog behind South Greene’s 48-7 win over West Greene. Myers was a Mr. Football semi-finalist last year and by the way he is playing this season, the East Tennessee product could find himself in that spot yet again.
Middle Tennessee
(RB) Gabriel Walker Gabriel Walker 5'10" | 190 lbs | RB Stewarts Creek | 2022 TN – Stewarts Creek …#MidTN22
* 18 carr. for 219 yds & 4 TD’s (Avg. 12.2 yds per carry) *
– This was a big game and a much needed performance for the Red Hawks as Walker was the workhorse and featured offensive threat in last Friday’s, 30-20 victory over Franklin. Walker is a talented back that can carry the load for an offense and be a threat catching the ball out of the backfield as well. Now that Walker appears back in the fold and healthy, watch out for this prospect to string together several more top performances.
West Tennessee
‘23 (Ath) Marquez Taylor Marquez Taylor 5'11" | 170 lbs | RB McKenzie | 2023 State TN – McKenzie …#WestTN23
* 19 carr. for 219 yds & 4 TD’s (Avg. 11.3 yds per carry) *
– Taylor was a beast in the Rebels Friday night win over Obion Co. He is a two way talent that translates to the college level at defensive back but Taylor is a natural athlete that could excel anywhere you put him. At running back, Taylor is a force and a prospect that’s hard to control because of his speed and game breaking abilities. The Rebels are 4-0 currently and Taylor has been a big reason why.
