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!
Greenwood Wins 19th-Straight Thanks to Kane Archer
Greenwood picked up their 19th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kane Archer. Siloam Springs had no answer to Archer as he threw for 393 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 77.3% of his passes.
If the past is any indication, Archer could be in store for another big game when he takes on Lake Hamilton on Friday. Archer threw for 239 yards and three touchdowns while completing 90.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 50 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Wolves duked it out back in October of 2023.

Mason Came Up Big in Shiloh Christian's 38-20 Victory
Keeping Eldridge company is Griffin Mason, a fellow Shiloh Christian player. He rushed for 245 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 42 receiving yards.

On the year, Mason has caught 1 touchdown while averaging 27.8 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 8.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 185.83 rushing yards.

Hayden Barton Delivers Electric Effort Vs Van Buren
Hayden Barton's big game helped extend Lake Hamilton's winning streak to five on Friday. Barton was unstoppable, rushing for 126 yards and three touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for Van Buren, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Barton. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Barton saw the Pointers), he rushed for 188 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry.
