Mid-Southern Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Logan Dent Turns in Season-Best Effort
Logan Dent produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Salem to the win on Friday. Dent rushed for 231 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.9 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making a tackle.
Dent might have his next game, a road matchup with West Washington, circled on his calendar. Dent rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.5 yards per carry the last time he and the Senators duked it out back in October of 2023.

Adam Mull Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Salem got the W thanks in part to Adam Mull playing the best football he has all season. Mull rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.
On the year, Mull has averaged 67.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 57.5 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 42.40
Charlestown came up short on Friday despite Ryan Shields delivering his best game to date. Shields rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
Charlestown is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-7. Shields and Charlestown will take on Eastern on Friday.

This year, Hester has averaged 8.6 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 8.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 130.71 rushing yards.
