Southern Central - Red (8 Man) 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!
Owen Gorham Dazzles in Mendon Victory
Mendon picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Owen Gorham. Nobody could stop Gorham as he rushed for 256 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 11.1 yards per carry. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Gorham could be in store for another big game when he takes on St. Philip Catholic Central on Saturday. Gorham rushed for 177 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry the last time he and the Fighting Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Seth Keson Turns in Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns
Seth Keson continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 177 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also threw for 145 yards and two touchdowns.
Keson is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Climax-Scotts on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Keson saw the Panthers), he rushed for 132 yards, and also threw for 110 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 65.53
Riley Beaumont Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Keeping Keson company is Riley Beaumont, a fellow Bellevue player. He picked up 186 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He's now once again averaging 100+ receiving yards (119.5) per game. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 54 yards.

Mendon Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to James T Lux
James T Lux was instrumental in extending Mendon's winning streak to six on Friday. T Lux was dynamite, rushing for 97 yards on only nine carries, while also picking up 33 receiving yards. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making six total tackles.
T Lux is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against St. Philip Catholic Central on Saturday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time T Lux saw the Fighting Tigers), he rushed for 199 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries.

Gorham Made His Presence Known in Mendon's 66-42 Win
Ryder Gorham was instrumental in extending Mendon's winning streak to six on Friday. Gorham did his part (and then some), throwing for 132 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground for the 'W'.
For the season, Gorham has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 57.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 16.32 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 126.22 passer rating.
