This Week's Top Player Performances from Across the League
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!
Argonia/Attica Gets a Boost from Vineyard in 36-28 Victory
Starting off the list is Argonia/Attica's Carson Vineyard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Vineyard picked up 112 receiving yards and two scores, and also rushed for 97 yards and one touchdown on only 13 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If history really does repeat itself, Vineyard might just drop another big game when he faces off against Norwich on Friday. Back in September of 2024 (the last time Vineyard saw the Eagles), he rushed for 194 yards and four TDs while picking up 10.2 yards per carry, and also threw for 22 yards and one touchdown.

Beau Hall Turns in Another Game with at Least 142 Rushing Yards
Beau Hall's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his third-straight game with 142+ rushing yards. He rushed for 158 yards and three scores while picking up 9.9 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 63 yards.
Flinthills now has a winning record of 2-1. Coming up, Hall and the Mustangs will face off against Northern Heights at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Chase Douglas and Co. Win Third in a Row
Oxford picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Chase Douglas. Douglas turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 138 yards and three scores on only eight carries, while also throwing for 154 yards and one touchdown on only 14 passes.
This year, Douglas has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 76 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 13.2 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 83.93 passer rating.
Gamescore: 51.77
Logan Gaither Dazzles in Oxford Win
Keeping Douglas company is Logan Gaither, a fellow Oxford player. He rushed for 67 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also picked up 59 receiving yards and one TD. Gaither is crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least two every time he's taken the field this season.
Gaither is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Independent on Friday. Gaither rushed for 52 yards and a pair of scores on only five carries the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in September of 2024.
Gamescore: 49.07
Maddex Hemberger Posts a New Career-High in Passing Yards
Maddex Hemberger posted a new career-high in passing yards on Friday. He threw for 155 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging an interception.
For the season, Hemberger has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 87.7 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after three games last season, he was only averaging 46.33 passing yards per game.
