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!
Schertz Posts Huge Game in 55-6 Win
Starting off the list is Fairland's Carson Schertz, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Schertz threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Fairland's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Fairland's victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 2-4. Schertz and Fairland will square off against Hominy on Thursday.

Trey Bennett Turns in Another Game with at Least Three Passing Touchdowns
On Friday, Woodland got the W thanks in part to Trey Bennett playing the best football he has all season. Bennett threw for 190 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in November of 2023. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Woodland pushed their record up to 6-0 with the win, which was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season. Bennett and Woodland will face off against Afton at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
