6-Man North (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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 Effort from William Stackhouse Leads Altoona-Midway over Chetopa
On Friday, Altoona-Midway got the W thanks in part to William Stackhouse playing the best football he has all season. Stackhouse rushed for 134 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 156 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Stackhouse might have his next game, a road matchup with Ingalls, circled on his calendar. When Stackhouse last faced the Bulldogs back in September of 2023, he picked up 99 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 48 yards.
Gamescore: 81.28
Cheylin found a leader in Harley McPherson as the team took down Western Plains on Friday. Nobody could stop McPherson as he rushed for 162 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also caught a touchdown.
This year, McPherson has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 27.2 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to ten.

Dylan Wark Turns in Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns

He rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also picked up 129 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Golden Plains: the team is undefeated when he posts at least 80 receiving yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
This year, Wark has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 39.2 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 8.83 receiving yards per game.
