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!
A Season-Best Effort from David Burgess Leads Dougherty over Cairo
On Friday, Dougherty had to settle for second even though David Burgess put up the best numbers he has all season. Burgess threw for 327 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 12.1 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Dougherty's loss was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 2-6. They and Westover are set to duel on Friday.
