South Central Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Rimbey Made His Presence Known in Southwestern's 35-33 Loss
Starting off the list is Southwestern's Blake Rimbey, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Rimbey rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 74-yard run.
Southwestern is on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6. Rimbey's next match is against Greenville on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Another Game with at Least 101 Rushing Yards from Roark Lewis
Roark Lewis continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his seventh-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least 101 rushing yards. He rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also picked up 34 receiving yards.
This year, Lewis has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 147.3 rushing yards per game.

Greyson Brewer Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Greyson Brewer posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Southwestern over North Mac on Friday. Brewer picked up 105 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 56 yards.
For the year, Brewer has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 23.7 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.71 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 38.75
Cayden Durbin Has Career-Day on Friday
On Friday, Pana got the W thanks in part to Cayden Durbin playing the best football he has all season. Durbin rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making nine total tackles.
For the season, Durbin has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 20.4 rushing yards per game.

Jackson Tuetken Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Jackson Tuetken of Hillsboro. Tuetken picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 60 yards.
Hillsboro is on a ten-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Tuetken will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Carlinville on Friday.
