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!
Jacob Barber Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Southwest's Jacob Barber, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Thursday Barber rushed for 230 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Barber has averaged 21.8 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 13.2 receiving yards per game.

Jordan Scoville Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sumner-Eddyville-Miller was led to victory by Jordan Scoville, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Scoville rushed for 197 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 66 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 66 yards.
Scoville is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Paxton on Friday. Scoville rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 76.43
Paxton had to settle for second on Friday, but Joe Eakins sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Eakins was still balling out as he picked up 60 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown.
The loss snapped Paxton's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-2 record. Eakins and Paxton will challenge Sumner-Eddyville-Miller at 1:30 p.m. on Friday.

Ashtin Johns' Big Game Leads Wallace over Paxton
Ashtin Johns's big game helped extend Wallace's winning streak to four on Friday. Johns was unstoppable, rushing for 151 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for seven yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 151 rushing yards dating back to last season.
This season, Johns has run in 14 touchdowns while averaging 140 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.

Big Game from Billeter As Southwest Won 51-20
The second Southwest player making an appearance here is Houston Billeter, and for good reason. He threw for 167 yards and four touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
For the season, Billeter has thrown 23 touchdowns (and and only 4 pick) while averaging 271.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he was only averaging 78.2 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 122.12 passer rating.
