The accolade came after a resounding 61-14 victory over Skyline, where Meyer delivered an impressive performance with 376 yards and four touchdowns. His connection with receiver Jordan Thompson-Woods resulted in five successful passes, all of which were touchdowns. Thompson-Woods has been a crucial target for Meyer, contributing to seven touchdowns in their last two games. Over the course of five games, Meyer has thrown for 1,421 yards and 16 touchdowns with only two interceptions. His standout performance this season occurred in Waxahachie's opening game against Ennis, where he completed 17 of 23 passes for 400 yards and six touchdowns. The Indians will have a bye week before facing No. 16 North Crowley on October 9.",
