Dayqwon Curry Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Luella's Dayqwon Curry, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Curry rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown.
The win got Luella back to even at 4-4. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Lions dukes it out withStephenson at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Johnson Came Up Big in Stephenson's 45-6 Victory
Jayden Johnson was instrumental in extending Stephenson's winning streak to three on Friday. Johnson was unstoppable, rushing for 102 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. He is becoming a predictor of Stephenson's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 4-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
This season, Johnson has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 122.4 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.71 rushing yards per game.

Marte Barton Makes It Two for Stephenson
Keeping Johnson company is Marte Barton, a fellow Stephenson player. He rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 133 yards and a touchdown while completing 75% of his passes.
A feisty cat fight will be fought when Jaguars faces off against Luella at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Jaguars got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Lions, probably because Barton had a solid game then too: he threw for 123 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

The victory (which was Douglass' fifth in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Barner and Douglass are taking a road trip to face off against Mt. Zion at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
