Mid-Southern 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!
Logan Dent Turns in Season-Best Performance
Salem was led to victory by Logan Dent, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Dent rushed for 231 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.9 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack and making a tackle.
If history really does repeat itself, Dent might just drop another big game when he faces off against West Washington on Friday. Dent rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.5 yards per carry the last time he and the Senators duked it out back in October of 2023.

Adam Mull Has Career-Day on Friday
