Cahokia - Mississippi 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!
Logan Hicks Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Columbia's Logan Hicks, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Hicks rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also picked up 53 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Columbia's third in a row) raised their record to 5-2. Hicks and Columbia will venture away from home to take on Breese Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Nelson and Columbia will head out to take on Breese Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Nelson will face off against Kaden Rakers, the Cougars' star RB. Will the matchup be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
