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!
Jeremiah Foster Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Globe got the W thanks in part to Jeremiah Foster playing the best football he has all season. Foster rushed for 59 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making six total tackles (4.0 for loss).
The victory made it two in a row for Globe and bumps their season record up to 3-5. Foster and Globe will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Alchesay at 7:00 p.m. on October 24th.

Jaeger Franco Has Career-Day on Friday
Globe was led to victory by Jaeger Franco, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Franco rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Globe is 2-1 when Franco posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
This season, Franco has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 72.5 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 16.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 26.88 rushing yards.
