6-Man North (6 Man) 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!
William Stackhouse Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Altoona-Midway got the W thanks in part to William Stackhouse playing the best football he has all season. Stackhouse rushed for 134 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 156 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Stackhouse is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Ingalls on Friday. Stackhouse picked up 99 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 48 yards the last time he and the Bulldogs duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 81.28
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Harley McPherson stepped things up a notch to give Cheylin the 'W'. McPherson was dynamite, rushing for 162 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, while also catching a touchdown.
For the year, McPherson has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 27.2 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 5.8 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 136.2 rushing yards.

Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Dylan Wark
Dylan Wark continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his sixth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also picked up 129 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Golden Plains: the team is undefeated when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
On the season, Wark has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 39.2 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had two receiving touchdowns.
