Jones Posts Huge Game in 38-7 Win
Starting off the list is Marion's Timotheus Jones, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jones rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory got Marion back to even at 4-4. Jones' next matchup is against Anderson on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
