1A League 6 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!
Jefferson Gets a Boost from Martinez in 32-19 Victory
Starting off the list is Jefferson's Demitrias Martinez, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Martinez rushed for 154 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries, and also threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 113 rushing yards dating back to last season.
On the season, Martinez has thrown those 3 touchdowns while averaging 134.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to six.
Gamescore: 71.82
Brogan Palmer Delivers Electric Effort Vs Manual
Brogan Palmer's big game helped extend Highland's winning streak to three on Friday. Palmer did his part (and then some), picking up two sacks, forcing two fumbles, and making six total tackles (4.0 for loss) for the 'W'.
Highland pushed their record up to 5-1 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Palmer and Highland will square off against Estes Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Bingley Came Up Big in Highland's 46-8 Victory
The second Highland player making an appearance here is John Bingley, and for good reason. He threw for 171 yards and two touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
This season, Bingley has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 161.8 passing 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 seven.
