Allen County 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!
Lucas Weber Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Heritage got the W thanks in part to Lucas Weber playing the best football he has all season. Weber rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 68 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Heritage's fourth in a row) raised their record to 8-1. Weber and Heritage will venture away from home to square off against Delta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Seven Total Tackles from Lucas Strait
Lucas Strait continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 14th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least seven total tackles. He turned in his biggest game of the season, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making ten total tackles. He is becoming a predictor of Jay County's success: when he posts at least one forced fumble the team is 2-1 (and 0-6 when he doesn't).
Jay County is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-7. Strait and Jay County will square off against Bellmont at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
