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!
Ryder Scheibe Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Emmett got the W thanks in part to Ryder Scheibe playing the best football he has all season. Scheibe rushed for 251 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 14.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 101 yards , good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 68 yards.
For the season, Scheibe has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 121.9 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 45.38 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 85.63 rushing yards.

Ryker Good Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Nampa had to settle for second even though Ryker Good put up the best numbers he has all season.
