Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
A Season-Best Effort from Eli Dukes Leads Palma over Aptos
Sadly, Eli Dukes posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Palma over Aptos on Friday. Dukes rushed for 271 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.8 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 58 yards.
Aptos had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Dukes it was a similar story. Dukes rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns on only 12 carries the last time he and the Mariners duked it out back in October of 2023.
