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!

Bates Posts Huge Game in 40-0 Win

Starting off the list is Garfield's Devin Bates, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Bates rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns. Those 120 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.

Bates and Garfield will square off against Crestview at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Bates will face off against Maxwell Hawkins, the Rebels' star rusher. 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.

Maxwell Hawkins Delivers Electric Effort Vs Champion

Crestview picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Maxwell Hawkins. Hawkins was unstoppable, rushing for 129 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.

Champion's probably not too fond of Hawkins given he always seems to get the better of them. Hawkins rushed for 206 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.6 yards per carry the last time he and the Golden Flashes duked it out back in October of 2023.

This year, Noling has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 78.4 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 7.18 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 118.9 passer rating.
