Sunshine State - Gulf (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Friday through Tuesday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Roman Wilder Delivers Electric Performance Vs Oasis Christian
Starting off the list is Canterbury's Roman Wilder, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wilder rushed for 253 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. Those 253 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Canterbury's victory was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-1. Wilder and Canterbury will be playing at home against Lakeside Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Shorecrest Prep Wins 19th-Straight Thanks to Ahmad Crumity
Shorecrest Prep picked up their 19th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ahmad Crumity. Crumity produced his best game of the campaign : he picked up 124 receiving yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 36 yards and a touchdown. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making five total tackles and defending two passes.
Shorecrest Prep's victory was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Crumity and Shorecrest Prep will host Hernando Christian Academy at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.
Gamescore: 57.87
Nickolas Bearden's big game helped extend Shorecrest Prep's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Nobody could stop Bearden as he threw for 182 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 passes, and also rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
Sports Leadership & Management had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Bearden it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bearden saw the Spartans), he rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 116 yards and three touchdowns.

Mitchem Came Up Big in Shorecrest Prep's 63-0 Win
Edward Mitchem was instrumental in extending Shorecrest Prep's winning streak to 19 on Friday. Mitchem did his part (and then some), rushing for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries for the 'W'. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defending two passes.
Sports Leadership & Management's probably not too fond of Mitchem given he always seems to get the better of them. When Mitchem last faced the Spartans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 28 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
Gamescore: 44.60
Mike Coffman Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Tuesday, Lakeside Christian got the W thanks in part to Mike Coffman playing the best football he has all season. Coffman picked up 105 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Lakeside Christian's victory ended a four-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-6. Coffman will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Canterbury on Friday.
