Mid-Continent 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!

Jackson Gillespie Dazzles in Thomas More Prep-Marian Loss

Starting off the list is Thomas More Prep-Marian's Jackson Gillespie, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gillespie rushed for 166 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

On the year, Gillespie has run in 5 touchdowns while averaging 65.8 rushing yards per game.

Gamescore: 45.00

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Rex Eberle stepped things up a notch to give Oakley the 'W'. Eberle was dynamite, picking up two sacks and making six total tackles.

For the season, Eberle has averaged 3.6 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging one total tackle per game.

Gamescore: 19.50

Grant Nehls Makes It Three for Thomas More Prep-Marian

Another Thomas More Prep-Marian player making an appearance on this list is Grant Nehls. He picked up 34 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Jorgan Schiltz Makes It Two for Oakley

The second Oakley player making an appearance here is Jorgan Schiltz, and for good reason. He rushed for 53 yards.
