DCIAA - Stripes 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!
Ri?Chard Wheeler Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Anacostia's Ri?Chard Wheeler, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wheeler's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 120 rushing yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making nine total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions which he returned for a touchdown.
On the season, Wheeler has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 133.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 48.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 139 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 102.57
Jorden Carter Turns in Season-Best Effort
Ron Brown came up short on Friday despite Jorden Carter delivering his best game to date. Carter rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This year, Carter has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 60.6 rushing yards per game.

Malachi Hill Turns in Another Game with at Least Five Total Tackles
Malachi Hill continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his ninth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least five total tackles. He picked up four sacks and made 15 total tackles.
On the season, Hill has averaged 12.9 total tackles per game and for the season has 7 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 2.13 total tackles per game.
