6-Man North (6 Man) 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!
William Stackhouse Delivers Best Effort of Season
Altoona-Midway was led to victory by William Stackhouse, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Stackhouse rushed for 134 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 156 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Stackhouse might have his next game, a road matchup with Ingalls, circled on his calendar. When Stackhouse last faced the Bulldogs back in September of 2023, he picked up 99 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 48 yards.
Gamescore: 81.28
Harley McPherson was a major factor in Cheylin's win over Western Plains on Friday. McPherson did his part (and then some), rushing for 162 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, while also catching a touchdown for the 'W'.
This season, McPherson has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 27.2 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to ten.
Gamescore: 65.18
Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Dylan Wark
Dylan Wark continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his sixth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also picked up 129 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Golden Plains's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the year, Wark has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 39.2 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 8.83 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 55.88
Austin Smith and Co. Win 13th in a Row
Weskan picked up their 13th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Austin Smith. Smith turned in his biggest game of the season, rushing for 60 yards and two touchdowns.
Weskan pushed their record up to 6-0 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Smith and Weskan will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Triplains/Brewster on October 25th.
Gamescore: 47.40
