Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Performance from Jeremiah Jacobs Leads Osceola over Newport
On Friday, Osceola got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Jacobs playing the best football he has all season. Jacobs rushed for 186 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing a fumble and making 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
The victory (which was Osceola's fourth in a row) raised their record to 4-1. Jacobs' next contest is against Harrisburg on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
