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!
Porter Deters Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Mission Valley got the W thanks in part to Porter Deters playing the best football he has all season. Deters picked up 131 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 130 yards and three touchdowns on only five passes. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 88 yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Deters might just drop another big game when he faces off against Olpe on Friday. Two weeks ago (the last time Deters saw the Eagles), he rushed for 139 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 143 yards and a touchdown.
