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!
Sawyer Anderson Goes Supernova in Parish Episcopal Win
Starting off the list is Parish Episcopal's Sawyer Anderson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Anderson threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
Trinity Christian had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Anderson it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Anderson saw the Trojans), he threw for 251 yards and four touchdowns on only 17 passes.
