Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Khy Harris Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Thursday, Centennial got the W thanks in part to Khy Harris playing the best football he has all season. Harris rushed for 141 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 59 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 59 yards.
Harris and Centennial will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Las Vegas at 6:00 p.m. on October 24th. The match will pit Harris up against the Wildcats' star rusher Mackey Aldred. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Ashton Hunt Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Centennial was led to victory by Ashton Hunt, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday.

Centennial is 3-1 when Hunt posts three or more passing touchdowns, but 0-4 otherwise.
Hunt and Centennial will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Las Vegas at 6:00 p.m. on October 24th. The match will pit Hunt up against the Wildcats' star quarterback Tanner Vibabul. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.
