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!
Brayden Tyson Dazzles in Brookwood Win
Starting off the list is Brookwood's Brayden Tyson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tyson rushed for 226 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 76 receiving yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 128 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Tyson and Brookwood will face off against Duluth at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Tyson will face off against Brandon Lyons, the Wildcats' 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.
