Big Thumb - Blue (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!
A Season-Best Performance from Hunter Garza Leads Deckerville over Alcona
Hunter Garza produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Deckerville to the win on Friday. Garza rushed for 355 yards and seven touchdowns while picking up 11.1 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (126). The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Garza might just drop another big game when he faces off against All Saints Central on Thursday. Back in August (the last time Garza saw the Cougars), he rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 85 yards and a touchdown.

Josh Blaszak Puts an End to Memphis' Losing Streak on Friday

He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 59 yards.
On the season, Blaszak has run in 16 touchdowns while averaging 154.7 rushing yards per game.

Luka Campbell's Big Game Leads Mayville over Akron-Fairgrove
The second Mayville player making an appearance here is Luka Campbell, and for good reason. He picked up 92 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Mayville's success: when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns the team is 4-2 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
On the year, Campbell has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 73.9 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had five receiving touchdowns.
