3A-2 Region II District 7 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!
Braden Ulmer Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Howe's Braden Ulmer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Ulmer rushed for 249 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 87-yard run.
Howe's defeat dropped their record down to 3-3. Ulmer and Howe will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Gunter at 7:30 p.m. on October 18th.
