Wyatt Mckee Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Keystone's Wyatt Mckee, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mckee made 11 total tackles.
Unfortunately for Firelands, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Mckee. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Mckee saw the Falcons), he made 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Gamescore: 43.10

Gamescore: 38.65
While Clearview might've come up empty on Friday, Josiah Longo wasn't going down without a fight. Longo was unstoppable, rushing for 95 yards on only eight carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles.
Clearview's defeat ended a ten-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-1. Longo and Clearview will take on Black River at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
