Ryker Kohler Has Career-Day on Friday
Starting off the list is Lakeview Academy's Ryker Kohler, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Kohler made four total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Lakeview Academy pushed their record up to 9-1 with the win, which was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season. Kohler and Lakeview Academy will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Deerfield-Windsor at 7:30 p.m. on November 8th.

Jimmy Anderson Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, The King's Academy got the W thanks in part to Jimmy Anderson playing the best football he has all season. Anderson threw for 129 yards and three touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also caught a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making nine total tackles and defending a pass.
For the season, Anderson has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 53.4 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 11.4 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 32.1 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 45.48
Piedmont Academy took down Athens Christian on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Mason Tumlin's effort. Athens Christian had no answer to Tumlin as he picked up 115 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 77 yards. Tumlin didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made six total tackles.
On the year, Tumlin has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 45.9 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he had one receiving touchdown.
