Gage Hedstrom's Big Game Leads St. Mary's over Neligh-Oakdale
Starting off the list is St. Mary's Gage Hedstrom, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hedstrom rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 146 yards and four touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
