A-6 East Central (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Austin Wright Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Thursday, Arickaree got the W thanks in part to Austin Wright playing the best football he has all season. Wright rushed for 337 yards and five touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 35 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Arickaree: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Arickaree is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. Wright and Arickaree will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Cheraw at 1:00 p.m. on November 2nd.

Jorge Ramos Makes It Two for Arickaree

On the year, Ramos has averaged 13.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to ten.
