1A 6 Man 1 Region III District 10 (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ej Mowery Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Union Hill's Ej Mowery, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mowery rushed for 200 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 170 yards and two touchdowns. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. He has been hot recently, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last three times he's played.
Mowery might have his next game, a home matchup with Milford, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Mowery saw Milford), he rushed for 173 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.2 yards per carry, and also threw for 112 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.

Devin Stewart Delivers Electric Effort Vs Union Hill
While Devin Stewart delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Saint Jo. Nobody could stop Stewart as he rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.9 yards per carry, and also threw for 60 yards and a touchdown.
With the defeat, Saint Jo broke their nine-game winning streak and moved their record to 9-1. Stewart and Saint Jo will challenge Avalon at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Wade Lucas Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Wade Lucas posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, and also picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown.
This year, Lucas has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 45 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to four.

Eli Mendoza Makes It Two for Union Hill
Another Union Hill player making an appearance on this list is Eli Mendoza. He made eight total tackles.
For the season, Mendoza has averaged 6.6 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.4 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 20.3 rushing yards.
