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!
Mcclintock Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Kemon Jackson
McClintock picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kemon Jackson. Jackson rushed for 83 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 146 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest reception was for an incredible 87 yards.
McClintock's victory was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. Jackson and McClintock will host Sunnyslope at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 65.55
Mack Kump Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Sunnyslope had to settle for second even though Mack Kump put up the best numbers he has all season. Kump picked up 187 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Campo Verde's probably not too fond of Kump given he always seems to get the better of them. When Kump last faced the Coyotes back in October of 2023, he picked up 66 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 31.62
Big Game from Scroggins As Mcclintock Won 47-7
Amari Scroggins was instrumental in extending McClintock's winning streak to eight on Friday. Scroggins did his part (and then some), picking up 86 receiving yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'.
Scroggins and McClintock will challenge Sunnyslope at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Scroggins up against the Vikings' star receiver Mack Kump. 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.
