Section 2 B - South 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!
Ford Came Up Big in Lansingburgh's 32-0 Victory
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Le?Kye Ford stepped things up a notch to give Lansingburgh the 'W'. Nobody could stop Ford as he rushed for 67 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Lansingburgh's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the year, Ford has averaged 28.9 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 24.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 78.57 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 29.37
Salah Thompson put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He made eight total tackles.
On the year, Thompson has averaged 5.3 total tackles per game.

Another Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk player making an appearance on this list is Mason Carkner. He threw for 142 yards and a touchdown while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
