TAIAO Division 1 - North (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Layton Francis and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Fort Worth THESA picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Layton Francis. Gold-Burg had no answer to Francis as he threw for 184 yards and four touchdowns on only 13 passes, and also rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
This season, Francis has thrown 26 touchdowns (and and only 2 picks) while averaging 136.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 57.75 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 97.88 rushing yards.

Fort Worth THESA Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Andrew Keller
Andrew Keller's big game helped extend Fort Worth THESA's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Keller as he picked up 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
This year, Keller has caught 15 touchdowns while averaging 74.5 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 45.5 receiving yards per game.

Austin Royals Homeschool Gets a Boost from Frazier in 62-13 Victory
Benjamin Frazier was instrumental in extending Austin Royals HomeSchool's winning streak to six on Friday. Frazier was dynamite, rushing for 142 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 142 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Frazier will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on BVCHEA HomeSchool on Friday. The Royals had to take a loss when they last met the Mustangs, but Frazier had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
