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!
Grady Schmidt Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Huntley Project was led to victory by Grady Schmidt, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Schmidt rushed for 178 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.7 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (113.4). That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in August of 2023.
Schmidt's next contest is against Roundup on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort. The last time Schmidt took on the Panthers, he rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
