Heart of the Plains (8 Man) 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!
Connor Fowler Dazzles in Fairfield Victory
Starting off the list is Fairfield's Connor Fowler, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Fowler rushed for 159 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 57 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
It'll be Battle of the Birds when Falcons faces off against Norwich at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The match will pit Fowler up against the Eagles' star quarterback Kyler Murphy. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Reed Posts Huge Game in 28-12 Win
Central Christian picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Nathan Reed. Argonia/Attica had no answer to Reed as he threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown. Reed also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles.
Reed and Central Christian will take on Pretty Prairie at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Reed took on the Bulldogs, he threw for 79 yards and two touchdowns on only six passes, and also rushed for 34 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Brodie Snodgrass Makes It Two for Fairfield
The second Fairfield player making an appearance here is Brodie Snodgrass, and for good reason. He made three total tackles. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 55 yards.

A Constellation of Stars for Central Christian
Another Central Christian player making an appearance on this list is Ry Kooiman. He rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made nine total tackles and defended a pass.
If history really does repeat itself, Kooiman might just drop another big game when he faces off against Pretty Prairie on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Kooiman saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries.
