Austin Carlisle's Big Game Leads Ridge Point over Fort Bend Dulles
Starting off the list is Ridge Point's Austin Carlisle, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carlisle threw for 125 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 69 yards.
Fort Bend Dulles had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Carlisle it was a similar story. When Carlisle last faced the Vikings back in September of 2023, he threw for 239 yards and four touchdowns while completing 88.2% of his passes.
