Starting off the list is Sonoraville's Jayden Cruz, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Cruz rushed for 137 yards and three touchdowns.
This year, Cruz has averaged 15.9 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 6.71 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 97.29 rushing yards.

A Season-Best Performance from Layten Myers Leads North Murray over Sonoraville
On Friday, North Murray got the W thanks in part to Layten Myers playing the best football he has all season. Myers rushed for 57 yards and three touchdowns, and also picked up 41 receiving yards.
For the year, Myers has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 56.8 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 20 rushing yards per game.

Waelyn Baliles Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Waelyn Baliles posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Coahulla Creek over Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe on Friday. Baliles threw for 199 yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Coahulla Creek is on a seven-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. Baliles and Coahulla Creek will take on Murray County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
