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!
Franky Meagher Dazzles in Upsala/Swanville Win
Upsala/Swanville picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Franky Meagher. Nobody could stop Meagher as he threw for 130 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 passes.
Unfortunately for Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Meagher. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Meagher saw the Fighting Saints), he threw for 202 yards and a touchdown on only 19 passes, and also punched in two touchdowns on the ground.

A Season-Best Effort from Brody Kircher Leads Upsala/Swanville over Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg

Jones Made His Presence Known in Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg's 29-0 Loss
The second Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg player making an appearance here is Aaron Jones, and for good reason. He picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss). Jones is crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least five every time he's taken the field this season.
