DCIAA - Stars Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Eastern Gets a Boost from Ginyard in 40-15 Victory
Starting off the list is Eastern's Daquan Ginyard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ginyard rushed for 217 yards. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 145 rushing yards.
Eastern is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Ginyard's next match is against Woodson on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Smith Posts Huge Game in 35-0 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Saturday Deyon Smith stepped things up a notch to give Roosevelt the 'W'. Smith was unstoppable, rushing for 51 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, while also picking up 35 receiving yards.
Jackson-Reed's probably not too fond of Smith given he always seems to get the better of them. When Smith last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 145 yards.
