Souerdyke Made His Presence Known in Thayer Central's 60-18 Win
Starting off the list is Thayer Central's Sam Souerdyke, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Souerdyke rushed for 209 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made six total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
