Macomb Area - Red 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!

Hanson Iii Posts Huge Game in 24-21 Defeat

Starting off the list is Anchor Bay's Gerry Hanson Iii, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hanson Iii picked up 93 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Hanson Iii must have Chippewa Valley's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Hanson Iii last faced the Big Reds back in September of 2023, he picked up 232 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Gamescore: 29.12

Dakota was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Brady Hamby did his best to prevent it. Hamby was unstoppable, making four total tackles (1.0 for loss).

Dakota moved to 6-1 with that loss, which also ended their six-game winning streak. Hamby and Dakota will venture away from home to take on Utica on Friday.

Gamescore: 27.87

Lafear Came Up Big in Anchor Bay's 24-21 Loss

Ryan Lafear put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He threw for 203 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 passes.

Chippewa Valley's probably not too fond of Lafear given he always seems to get the better of them. When Lafear last faced the Big Reds back in September of 2023, he threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per attempt.

Gamescore: 22.03

A Constellation of Stars for Dakota

Another Dakota player making an appearance on this list is Dylan Beitelshees. He picked up six receiving yards.

This season, Beitelshees has averaged 14.3 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 3.43 receiving yards per game.
