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!
Big Game from Stocks As Mt. Zion Won 42-10
Starting off the list is Mt. Zion's Keller Stocks, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Stocks threw for 235 yards and four touchdowns while completing 84.6% of his passes, and also rushed for 51 yards on only six carries.
For the year, Stocks has thrown 18 touchdowns while averaging 192.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 50.57 rushing yards.

Mahomet-Seymour Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Lucas Dyer
Mahomet-Seymour picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Lucas Dyer. Effingham had no answer to Dyer as he threw for 331 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per attempt.
Effingham had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Dyer it was a similar story. When Dyer last faced the Hearts back in October of 2023, he threw for 350 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 14.6 yards per attempt.
