Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Cooper Criss Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Thursday, Cedar Vale/Dexter got the W thanks in part to Cooper Criss playing the best football he has all season. Criss threw for 363 yards and eight touchdowns while completing 78.1% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.4 passing touchdowns per game.
Cedar Vale/Dexter pushed their record up to 5-3 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Criss and Cedar Vale/Dexter will head out on the road to take on Madison/Hamilton at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

West Elk Gets a Boost from Koop in 60-0 Victory
Creyo Koop's big game helped extend West Elk's winning streak to eight on Thursday. Koop was unstoppable, picking up 52 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 34 yards and two touchdowns. Koop is crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least two every time he's taken the field this season.
Koop must have Central's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Koop saw the Raiders), he rushed for 111 yards and four touchdowns.

With the loss, Oxford broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-2. Jordan and Oxford will face off against Kinsley at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
