B District 5 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Nate Kelley Dazzles in Scottsbluff Victory
Starting off the list is Scottsbluff's Nate Kelley, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kelley rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also threw for 71 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Scottsbluff's fourth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Kelley's next matchup is against York on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Hastings pushed their record up to 5-3 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Kohl and Hastings will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against McCook at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.

Tucker Synek Delivers Electric Effort Vs Lexington
Tucker Synek posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He threw for 160 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 60 yards on only five carries.
If history really does repeat itself, Synek might just drop another big game when he faces off against McCook on Friday. Synek threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns while completing 73% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score the last time he and the Bison duked it out two weeks ago.
