Luke Collins' Big Game Leads Starmount over East Wilkes
Starting off the list is Starmount's Luke Collins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Collins threw for 204 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 passes, and also rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Collins might just drop another big game when he faces off against South Stokes on Thursday. When Collins last faced the Sauras back in October of 2023, he threw for 160 yards and four touchdowns while completing 87.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 34 yards.

South Stokes' Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Parker Barron
Thanks in part to Parker Barron, South Stokes said goodbye to their nine-game losing streak dating back to last season. Barron turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday, picking up 107 receiving yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 50 yards.
South Stokes' first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-7. Barron and South Stokes will welcome Starmount at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
