Western Illinois Valley - South 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!
Ryker Ford Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, West Central co-op [Winchester-Bluffs] got the W thanks in part to Ryker Ford playing the best football he has all season. Ford rushed for 149 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries, and also threw for 120 yards and a touchdown on perfect 6-for-6 passing, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
For the year, Ford has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 65.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 28.96 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 87.11 passer rating.
