DCIAA - Stars Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Eastern Gets a Boost from Ginyard in 40-15 Win
Starting off the list is Eastern's Daquan Ginyard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ginyard rushed for 217 yards. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 145 rushing yards.
Eastern has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Ginyard and Eastern will be playing in front of their home fans against Woodson at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.

Smith Posts Huge Game in 35-0 Victory
Deyon Smith was a major factor in Roosevelt's win over Jackson-Reed on Saturday. Smith did his part (and then some), rushing for 51 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, while also picking up 35 receiving yards for the 'W'.
Jackson-Reed's probably not too fond of Smith given he always seems to get the better of them. When Smith last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 145 yards.

Jamal Gilmore Turns in Season-Best Effort
Jamal Gilmore produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Roosevelt to the win on Saturday. Gilmore picked up 106 receiving yards and a touchdown.
This season, Gilmore has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 57.3 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.67 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 29.45
A Constellation of Stars for Roosevelt
Another Roosevelt player making an appearance on this list is David Anderson. He threw for 175 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes.
Anderson and Roosevelt will take on Dunbar at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The match will pit Anderson up against the Crimson Tide's star quarterback Brosnan Dukes. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
