Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Shawn Edmondson Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Burroughs got the W thanks in part to Shawn Edmondson playing the best football he has all season. Edmondson rushed for 57 yards and three touchdowns. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Burroughs is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Edmondson and Burroughs will face off against Roosevelt/Carnahan at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Big Game from Macon As Burroughs Won 35-10

Macon is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Roosevelt/Carnahan on Saturday. When Macon last faced the back in October of 2023, he rushed for 184 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 34 receiving yards.

MICDS Gets a Boost from Gould in 66-19 Win
MICDS found a leader in Brian Gould as the team took down Lutheran South on Thursday. Gould turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 44 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 37 yards and a touchdown.
Gould and MICDS are taking a road trip to face off against St. Dominic at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Gould took on the Crusaders, he rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 141 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
