Big Game from Johnson As Bartow Won 24-14
Starting off the list is Bartow's Blake Johnson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Johnson rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also threw for 81 yards and a touchdown.
The win was the fourth in a row for Bartow, bringing their record for this year to 5-2. Johnson and Bartow are taking a road trip to square off against Riverview at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Durant Gets a Boost from Ryan in 20-19 Defeat
Durant was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Michael Ryan did his best to prevent it. Despite the defeat, Ryan was still balling out as he threw for 127 yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
Ryan and Durant will venture away from home to face off against Bloomingdale at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Cougars got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Bulls, probably because Ryan had a solid game then too: he threw for 155 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
