Jones Made His Presence Known in Marion's 38-7 Victory
Starting off the list is Marion's Timotheus Jones, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jones rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win got Marion back to even at 4-4. Jones and Marion will venture away from home to square off against Anderson at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Harrison had to settle for second on Friday, but Jack Gonzalez sure wasn't going down easily. Gonzalez was dynamite, making six total tackles and defending a pass. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
With the loss, Harrison broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 5-3. Gonzalez will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Kokomo on Friday.
