TAIAO Division 2 - North (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Luke Hindman's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Stephenville FAITH's Luke Hindman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Hindman rushed for 293 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 14.7 yards per carry, and also threw for 133 yards and three touchdowns on only nine passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making 12 total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defending two passes.
For the year, Hindman has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 100 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.8 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 118 rushing yards.

This season, Aardal has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 86.8 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one receiving touchdown.

Harvest Christian Academy Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Landon Reeves
Landon Reeves was instrumental in extending Harvest Christian Academy's winning streak to five on Thursday. Reeves wasn't messing around, making six total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass. The contest was his third straight with two or more receiving touchdowns. He also hauled in two receiving touchdowns, which is notable because Harvest Christian Academy is 5-2 when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Harvest Christian Academy pushed their record up to 6-4 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Their homestand will continue as they prepare to take on King's Academy at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
