Three Rivers 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!
Eli Mcginnis Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Pleasanton got the W thanks in part to Eli Mcginnis playing the best football he has all season. Mcginnis rushed for 175 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Pleasanton is undefeated when Mcginnis posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 0-4 otherwise.
For the season, Mcginnis has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 69.8 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.

Gaige Lape's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Uniontown over Pleasanton
Uniontown was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Gaige Lape did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Lape as he rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making ten total tackles.
Uniontown is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. Lape and Uniontown will challenge Jayhawk Linn at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Central Heights Gets a Boost from Roullett in 20-14 Victory
Brody Roullett was a major factor in Central Heights's win over Eureka on Friday. Roullett was dynamite, rushing for 50 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 85 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Roullett has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 67.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging three rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 73.14 rushing yards.

Mario Davis Makes It Two for Pleasanton
The second Pleasanton player making an appearance here is Mario Davis, and for good reason. He picked up 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Pleasanton's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is 2-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
This year, Davis has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 89.2 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 35.33 receiving yards per game.
