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!
Hanson Iii Made His Presence Known in Anchor Bay's 24-21 Defeat
Starting off the list is Anchor Bay's Gerry Hanson Iii, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hanson Iii picked up 93 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Chippewa Valley's probably not too fond of Hanson Iii given he always seems to get the better of them. When Hanson Iii last faced the Big Reds back in September of 2023, he picked up 232 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 29.12
While Dakota might've come up empty on Friday, Brady Hamby wasn't going down without a fight. Hamby was unstoppable, making four total tackles (1.0 for loss).
With the loss, Dakota broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-1. Hamby and Dakota will challenge Utica at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Lafear Posts Huge Game in 24-21 Defeat
Ryan Lafear put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 passes.
Chippewa Valley's probably not too fond of Lafear given he always seems to get the better of them. Lafear threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per attempt the last time he and the Big Reds duked it out back in September of 2023.
