Metro Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Shawn Edmondson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Burroughs was led to victory by Shawn Edmondson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Edmondson rushed for 57 yards and three touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also made four total tackles and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Burroughs is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Edmondson and Burroughs will square off against Roosevelt/Carnahan at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Macon Came Up Big in Burroughs' 35-10 Win
Keeping Edmondson company is Dylan Macon, a fellow Burroughs player. He rushed for 166 yards and a touchdown.
Macon is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Roosevelt/Carnahan on Saturday. When Macon last faced the back in October of 2023, he rushed for 184 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also picked up 34 receiving yards.

Big Game from Gould As MICDS Won 66-19
MICDS found a leader in Brian Gould as the team took down Lutheran South on Thursday. Gould did his part (and then some), picking up 44 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 37 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
Gould's next game is against St. Dominic on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. The Rams had to take a loss when they last met the Crusaders, but Gould had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 79 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 141 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Cameron Cooper Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Thursday, MICDS got the W thanks in part to Cameron Cooper playing the best football he has all season. Cooper rushed for 64 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries.
On the year, Cooper has run in those 2 touchdowns while averaging 58.8 rushing yards per game.

Noah Menneke Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Noah Menneke posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He threw for 103 yards and two touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes.
For the season, Menneke has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 139.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 35.42 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 87.18 passer rating.
