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!
Lee Qualk Delivers Electric Effort Vs West Greene
Starting off the list is California's Lee Qualk, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Qualk rushed for 246 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.2 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 149 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Qualk is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Bethlehem Center on Friday. When Qualk last faced the Bulldogs back in October of 2023, he rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries.
