Ironwood 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!
Lewis Posts Huge Game in 28-21 Victory
Starting off the list is Ontario Christian's Zander Lewis, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Lewis rushed for 274 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry, and also picked up 48 receiving yards. He is becoming a predictor of Ontario Christian's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
For the season, Lewis has averaged 34.4 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 89.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 177 rushing yards.
