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!
Gunnar Barnard Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Westlake Academy's Gunnar Barnard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Barnard rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.0 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (105.9).
The win was the fifth in a row for Westlake Academy, bringing their record for this year to 8-4. Barnard and Westlake Academy will challenge Gloria Deo Academy at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Dane Kerr Delivers Best Effort of Season
Austin Royals HomeSchool was led to victory by Dane Kerr, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Kerr rushed for 173 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 108 or more in the last four games he's played.
Kerr is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against BVCHEA HomeSchool on Friday. Back in October (the last time Kerr saw the Mustangs), he rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 32 receiving yards.

Frazier Came Up Big in Austin Royals Homeschool's 56-48 Win
Benjamin Frazier was instrumental in extending Austin Royals HomeSchool's winning streak to ten on Friday. Frazier was dynamite, rushing for 177 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.8 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 142 rushing yards.
If the past is any indication, Frazier could be in store for another big game when he takes on BVCHEA HomeSchool on Friday. Back in October (the last time Frazier saw the Mustangs), he rushed for 186 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry.
