Gannon Jacobson Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Southeast of Saline's Gannon Jacobson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jacobson rushed for 207 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 125 yards and three touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory for Southeast of Saline keeps them at an undefeated 5-0. Jacobson's next match is against Hillsboro on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
