Starting off the list is Leake County's Mashawn Leflore, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Leflore rushed for 154 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries. He is becoming a predictor of Leake County's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
The win (which was Leake County's third in a row) raised their record to 5-3. Leflore and Leake County will head out on the road to challenge Stringer at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
