Big Game from King As Greene County Fell 34-28
Starting off the list is Greene County's Coby King, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. King threw for 261 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 38 yards and a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played.
On the season, King has thrown 38 touchdowns (and and only 6 pick) while averaging 292.3 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 43.1 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 69.5 rushing yards.

Pass Christian Comes Up Short Despite Huge Game from Underclassman Paris Trivillion
While Pass Christian couldn't topple Northeast Jones on Friday, it's impossible to ignore the impact made by underclassman Paris Trivillion. Northeast Jones had no answer to Trivillion as he rushed for 120 yards on only 13 carries, and also threw for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Trivillion has become a key player for Pass Christian: the team is 4-2 when he posts at least 100 rushing yards, but 1-3 otherwise.
On the season, Trivillion has thrown 19 touchdowns while averaging 204.2 passing yards per game.
