Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Eurich Came Up Big in Simla's 54-6 Win
Starting off the list is Simla's Tj Eurich, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Eurich rushed for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 112 rushing yards.
Simla's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Eurich and Simla will venture away from home to square off against South Park at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Caston Cox Delivers Electric Performance Vs Elbert
Another Simla player making an appearance on this list is Caston Cox. He threw for 144 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Unfortunately for Elbert, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Cox. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Cox saw the Bulldogs), he threw for 259 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 passes, and also punched in a rushing score.
