Northstar - West Gold Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Big Game from Mapson As Andover Won 58-21
Starting off the list is Andover's Joseph Mapson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mapson rushed for 134 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 112 yards on nine of 13 attempts. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Sauk Rapids-Rice's probably not too fond of Mapson given he always seems to get the better of them. Mapson rushed for 133 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries the last time he and the Storm duked it out two weeks ago.

Levi Harris Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Saturday, Elk River got the W thanks in part to Levi Harris playing the best football he has all season. Harris rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 39 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 51 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
If history really does repeat itself, Harris might just drop another big game when he faces off against Andover on Friday. Harris rushed for 131 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.2 yards per carry the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in September.

Wyatt Myers Delivers Electric Effort Vs Sauk Rapids-Rice
The second Andover player making an appearance here is Wyatt Myers, and for good reason. He rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Myers must have Sauk Rapids-Rice's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Two weeks ago (the last time Myers saw the Storm), he rushed for 155 yards and a touchdown.

Schmidt Made His Presence Known in Elk River's 61-14 Victory
The second Elk River player making an appearance here is Gavin Schmidt, and for good reason. He picked up 39 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
For the season, Schmidt has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 21 receiving yards per game.

Brecken Keoraj and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Brecken Keoraj was instrumental in extending Elk River's winning streak to five on Saturday. Keoraj was unstoppable, rushing for 78 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 75-yard run.
Keoraj might have his next game, a home matchup with Andover, circled on his calendar. When Keoraj last faced the Huskies back in September, he rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.1 yards per carry.
