Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Hayden Gubler Delivers Electric Effort Vs Milford
Starting off the list is Kanab's Hayden Gubler, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gubler rushed for 179 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.4 yards per carry. He didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended two passes.
Gubler might have his next game, a road matchup with Millard, circled on his calendar. Gubler rushed for 87 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in September.

Bettridge Made His Presence Known in Parowan's 20-19 Loss

Parowan dropped their record down to 2-8 with the defeat, which was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season. Bettridge and Parowan will challenge Enterprise at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.

While Judd Netto delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Milford. Netto was dynamite, rushing for 37 yards.
Netto and Milford will get a bit of extra time to process the defeat as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Duchesne at 6:00 p.m. on November 1st. Netto will face off against Kasen Crum, the Eagles' star rusher. Will the game be decided in the trenches? We'll have our answer very soon.
