Graylyn Fry's Big Game Leads Panther Creek over Lake Dallas
Starting off the list is Panther Creek's Graylyn Fry, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Fry threw for 371 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards. His passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 303 passing yards.
Panther Creek pushed their record up to 7-1 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. Fry and Panther Creek will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Aubrey at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.

On Friday, Lake Dallas had to settle for second even though Dylan Brauchle put up the best numbers he has all season. Brauchle rushed for 197 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 40 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
