Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Indiana Jones' Big Game Leads Kennedy Catholic over Auburn
Starting off the list is Kennedy Catholic's Indiana Jones, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jones rushed for 202 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 44 receiving yards and a touchdown. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
If the past is any indication, Jones could be in store for another big game when he takes on Auburn Riverside on Saturday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jones saw the Ravens), he rushed for 62 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
Gamescore: 64.77

Darius Sum was a major factor in Stadium's win over Kentwood on Friday. Sum was dynamite, rushing for 265 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry.
