Jonah Gipson piled up six total touchdowns in Week 3, a mind-blowing performance that screams ‘Athlete of the Week’ material. The Spring Hill playmaker absolutely shredded Glencliff, leading his team to a monstrous 57-0 win. But here’s the kicker: his incredible night is just one of many standout performances across the Columbia area, and now it’s up to you to pick the best. The Daily Herald has the nominees lined up, and you get to cast your vote for who truly owned Week 3.
The Six-Score Explosion and Other Offensive Firepower
Let’s talk about Gipson again for a second, because six scores is no joke. He was a dual threat nightmare for Glencliff, completing 8-of-13 passes for 83 yards and tossing three touchdowns. Then he turned around and ran the ball seven times for 53 yards and *another* three touchdowns. That’s just pure dominance, right? He practically lived in the end zone. And it wasn’t just Gipson tearing it up for Spring Hill. His teammate, Kasen White, also had a huge night, carrying the ball nine times for 110 yards and snagging a touchdown reception. Columbia Central had some serious firepower too in their 48-7 victory. Hason Baugh rushed eight times for 107 yards and a touchdown, while Daniel Booker went off for three rushing touchdowns on 17 carries for 93 yards. Booker even added 84 yards through the air, completing 7-of-11 passes, though he did throw an interception.
Versatility and Grit on Display
The Week 3 nominees weren’t all about blowout wins and six-touchdown nights. Zakyus Everly of Lawrence County showed incredible versatility, racking up 134 all-purpose yards and a rushing touchdown in a tough 27-20 defeat to Giles County. Even in a loss, that kind of all-around effort deserves recognition. JP Easterling from Mt. Pleasant was another do-it-all player, hauling in six catches for 101 yards and a touchdown, plus punching in a rushing score of his own. And Max Dillard of Summertown proved he can shoulder the load, rushing 19 times for 92 yards and a touchdown in a 21-12 win over Cascade. He also contributed nine passing yards on 2-of-4 attempts, though he too threw an interception. These guys left it all on the field.
So who’s it gonna be? Gipson’s ridiculous six-TD night, or one of these other incredible athletes who battled it out? The poll is live, and you need to get your vote in before it closes at noon on Friday. Every single vote counts to decide who gets that Athlete of the Week recognition for Week 3.
