B District 5 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!
Nate Kelley's Big Game Leads Scottsbluff over Mccook
Starting off the list is Scottsbluff's Nate Kelley, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kelley rushed for 122 yards on only 13 carries, and also threw for 71 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 56 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Kelley and Scottsbluff will challenge York at 6:55 p.m. on Friday. The last time Kelley took on the Dukes, he rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Lexington's loss was their ninth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-7. Cano and Lexington will square off against McCook at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
