Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Julien Simpson Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, North Mesquite had to settle for second even though Julien Simpson put up the best numbers he has all season. Simpson rushed for 177 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also caught a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
North Mesquite dropped their record down to 2-6 with the loss, which was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season. Simpson and North Mesquite will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on White at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.
