Railbelt Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Oschaun Easaw Delivers Best Effort of Season
Oschaun Easaw produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Lathrop to the win on Saturday. Easaw rushed for 205 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 115 or more in the last nine games he's played dating back to last season.
Easaw is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against North Pole on Saturday. When Easaw last faced the Patriots back in September, he rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 60.20
Deshon Hall Makes It Two for Lathrop
Keeping Easaw company is Deshon Hall, a fellow Lathrop player. He picked up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Hall and Lathrop will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against North Pole at 6:00 p.m. Hall will face off against Devin Cooper-Jackson, the Patriots' star wideout. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
Gamescore: 23.58
While Eagle River might've come up empty on Friday, Braden Ott wasn't going down without a fight. Ott turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making nine total tackles. Eagle River is 2-1 when Ott posts three or more total tackles, but 2-4 otherwise.
On the season, Ott has averaged 4.6 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks.
Gamescore: 22.75
Jimmy Runnels Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Jimmy Runnels of North Pole. Runnels wasn't messing around on Friday, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles. The contest was his sixth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
North Pole moved to 7-2 with that defeat, which also ended their seven-game winning streak. Runnels and North Pole have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Lathrop at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
