Jones Made His Presence Known in Marion's 38-7 Victory
Starting off the list is Marion's Timotheus Jones, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jones rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory got Marion back to even at 4-4. Jones and Marion are taking a road trip to take on Anderson on Friday.

Gonzalez didn't just play on offense: he also made six total tackles and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
Harrison moved to 5-3 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak. Gonzalez and Harrison will host Kokomo at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
