This Week's Top Player Performances from Across the League
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!
Elam Beaman's Big Game Leads Liberal over New Heights Christian Academy
Starting off the list is Liberal's Elam Beaman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Beaman rushed for 200 yards and three TDs on only seven carries, and also threw for 146 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 117 rushing yards.
Looking ahead, Beaman and Liberal will challenge Jasper at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bulldogs got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Eagles thanks in part to Beaman: he rushed for 78 yards on only 11 carries, and also threw for 96 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
