This Week's Top Player Performances from Across the League
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!
A Season-Best Performance from Lucas Weber Leads Heritage over Jay County
On Friday, Heritage got the W thanks in part to Lucas Weber playing the best football he has all season. Weber rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 72 yards.
The victory (which was Heritage's fourth in a row) raised their record to 8-1. Weber will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Delta on Friday.
