Blackman quarterback Connor Mitchell continued his excellent play in Blackman’s 38-7 playoff win over Hendersonville. Mitchell ran 16 times for 162 yards and three scores, and was 3-of-7 passing for 48 yards.

Aaron Moore, Oakland

Aaron Moore Oakland

Oakland’s defense continues to shine, and Moore’s had a big hand in that. On Friday, he had four solo tackles and three assists, and that included 3 1/2 stops for loss for the unbeaten Patriots. Lebanon’s one touchdown came on the last play of the game in this heartwarming, must-see video.

Ethan Cobb, quarterback, Eagleville

Cobb’s been a regular in this space all year. Friday, he continued that trend in Eagleville’s first-round playoff game. Cobb ran for 85 yards on 18 carries and two touchdowns. He added 170 more on a 17-of-23, one-touchdown passing evening in a 23-9 win over Riverside.

Savion Davis, running back, Riverdale

HS Football Week 9: Rutherford County Player of the Week

Davis was flat-out phenomenal in Riverdale’s road upset of previously-unbeaten Mt. Juliet. The Golden Bears had given up 30 points the entire season coming into Friday; Davis scored 18 alone in the Warriors’ 20-14 win. He carried 26 times for 246 yards in the contest.
