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!
Waynesburg Central Gets a Boost from Stephenson in 27-26 Win
Starting off the list is Waynesburg Central's Jacob Stephenson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Stephenson rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 113 yards while completing 80% of his passes. He has become a key player for Waynesburg Central: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Stephenson and Waynesburg Central will play host again on Friday to welcome Keystone Oaks, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. The last time Stephenson took on the Golden Eagles, he rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
