Apollo 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!
Stocks Came Up Big in Mt. Zion's 42-10 Victory
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.
Gamescore: 42.17
Lucas Dyer and Co. Win Fourth in a Row
Mahomet-Seymour picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Lucas Dyer. Nobody could stop Dyer as he threw for 331 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per attempt.
Effingham's probably not too fond of Dyer given he always seems to get the better of them. 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.
Gamescore: 39.67
Cale Kimbro Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Cale Kimbro posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made 19 total tackles and defended a pass.
For the year, Kimbro has averaged 13 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 7.29 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 19 rushing yards.
