Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Big Game from Allen As St. John's Fell 48-45
Starting off the list is St. John's Cole Allen, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Allen rushed for 248 yards and five touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 50 yards.
Allen must have Episcopal's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Allen last faced the Knights back in October of 2023, he rushed for 276 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.9 yards per carry.
