C2 District 2 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!
Gavin Baker Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
Starting off the list is Archbishop Bergan's Gavin Baker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Baker picked up 174 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Archbishop Bergan: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
Archbishop Bergan moved to 3-4 with that win, which also ended their four-game losing streak. Baker and Archbishop Bergan will host North Bend Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 42.07
Arlington had to settle for second on Friday, but Dallin Franzlubbers sure wasn't going down easily. Yutan had no answer to Franzlubbers as he rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries.
Arlington's defeat was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 2-5. Franzlubbers will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Tekamah-Herman on Friday.

Yutan's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-3. Arensberg and Yutan will challenge Aquinas at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
