Stocks Posts Huge Game in 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.
This season, Stocks has thrown 18 touchdowns while averaging 192.3 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.86 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 50.57 rushing yards.

Mahomet-Seymour Wins Fourth-Straight Thanks to Lucas Dyer
Lucas Dyer was instrumental in extending Mahomet-Seymour's winning streak to four on Friday. Dyer did his part (and then some), throwing for 331 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 13.8 yards per attempt for the 'W'.
Effingham's probably not too fond of Dyer given he always seems to get the better of them. Dyer threw for 350 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 14.6 yards per attempt the last time he and the Hearts duked it out back in October of 2023.
