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!
Henderson Posts Huge Game in 42-0 Victory
Starting off the list is Marshall's Alton Henderson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Henderson threw for 198 yards and three touchdowns while completing 91.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 30 yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Henderson has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 119 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.95 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 100.58 passer rating.

Carter Mclaughlin and Co. Win Third in a Row
Whitehouse picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Carter Mclaughlin. Mclaughlin turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 122 yards and two touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown.
Whitehouse now has a winning record of 5-4. Mclaughlin and Whitehouse will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Marshall at 7:30 p.m. on November 8th.

Za?Majeigh Mosley Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Whitehouse got the W thanks in part to Za?Majeigh Mosley playing the best football he has all season. Mosley rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
For the season, Mosley has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 66.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.

For the year, Adams has thrown 6 touchdowns (and and only 1 pick) while averaging 90.1 passing yards per game.

Denijh Montgomery Makes It Two for Marshall
The second Marshall player making an appearance here is Denijh Montgomery, and for good reason. He picked up 47 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 70 yards on only eight carries.
Montgomery and Marshall will host Hallsville at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Montgomery will have to find some way to get past Shawn Rios, one of the Wildcats' most imposing linebacker. Will Rios keep Montgomery contained, or will Montgomery turn in another impressive offensive performance? There's only one way to know for sure.
