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!
Isaiah Medina Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Riverdale Ridge got the W thanks in part to Isaiah Medina playing the best football he has all season. Medina threw for 271 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground. The effort also marked the most rushing yards (16) he has had since back in October of 2023.
If history really does repeat itself, Medina might just drop another big game when he faces off against Adams City on Thursday. Medina threw for 217 yards and four touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes, and also punched in a rushing score the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in August of 2023.
