Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Davie Slack Delivers Best Effort of Season
Davie Slack produced her most outstanding game to date while leading Virgin Valley to the win on Thursday. Slack threw for 174 yards and seven touchdowns, and also rushed for 73 yards on only nine carries. The effort marked the most passing touchdowns she has had since back in December of 2024. She also deserves a shoutout for her performance on D, making three total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
If history really does repeat itself, Slack might just drop another big game when she faces off against Boulder City on Wednesday. Back in January (the last time Slack saw the Eagles), she threw for 195 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 56 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries.
