This Week's Top Player Performances from Across the League
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Kevion West Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Waltrip's Kevion West, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. West picked up 151 receiving yards and two TDs, and also rushed for 56 yards and one touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 58 yards.
The victory was the third in a row for Waltrip, bringing their record up to 3-1. West and the Rams will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Sharpstown at 12:00 p.m. on October 4.

Galena Park Gets a Boost from Clay in 34-31 Loss
Cary Clay continued his hot streak on Thursday by dropping his third-straight game with at least 188 rushing yards. He rushed for 188 yards and one score while picking up 8.5 yards per carry.
If the past is any indication, Clay could be in store for another big game when he takes on Milby on Friday. Back in September of 2024 (the last time Clay saw the Buffs), he rushed for 196 yards and three TDs while picking up 9.3 yards per carry.

Kendall Combs Makes It Two for Galena Park
Another Galena Park player making an appearance on this list is Kendall Combs. He rushed for 79 yards on only ten carries, and also threw for 53 yards and one touchdown.
Looking ahead, Combs and Galena Park will head out on the road to challenge Milby at 7:00 p.m. on the 26th. The Yellowjackets got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Buffs thanks in part to Combs: he rushed for 56 yards and a pair of TDs, and also threw for 31 yards and one touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 40.73
The second Waltrip player making an appearance here is James 'Jimmy' Haren, and for good reason. He threw for 230 yards and four TDs while picking up 11.5 yards per attempt, and also punched in one rushing score.
Gamescore: 32.63
A Constellation of Stars for Galena Park
Another Galena Park player making an appearance on this list is Chase James. He rushed for 66 yards and a pair of scores on only eight carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles and defending two passes.
For the year, James has run in 2 touchdowns while averaging 27.2 rushing yards per game.
