A-6 East Central (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Austin Wright Turns in Season-Best Effort
Arickaree was led to victory by Austin Wright, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Wright rushed for 337 yards and five touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 35 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Arickaree's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Arickaree is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. Wright and Arickaree will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Cheraw at 1:00 p.m. on November 2nd.
