D1 District 7 (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Big Game from Souerdyke As Thayer Central Won 60-18
Starting off the list is Thayer Central's Sam Souerdyke, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Souerdyke rushed for 209 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
Souerdyke and Thayer Central will take on Exeter-Milligan/Friend at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Titans had to take a loss when they last met the Bobcats, but Souerdyke had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Sandy Creek Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Ethan Shaw
Ethan Shaw was instrumental in extending Sandy Creek's winning streak to seven on Friday. Shaw was unstoppable, rushing for 106 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 183 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Shaw must have Exeter-Milligan/Friend's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Shaw saw the Bobcats), he rushed for 85 yards and four touchdowns, and also threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per attempt.
Gamescore: 74.50
Connor Rempe was instrumental in extending Sandy Creek's winning streak to seven on Friday. Exeter-Milligan/Friend had no answer to Rempe as he picked up 38 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 33 yards.
Exeter-Milligan/Friend had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Rempe it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Rempe saw the Bobcats), he picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 51 yards.

Sutton now has a winning record of 4-3. Huxoll and Sutton will be playing in front of their home fans against Tri County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
