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 Idrees Elfarra Leads River Islands over Bret Harte
On Friday, River Islands got the W thanks in part to Idrees ElFarra playing the best football he has all season. ElFarra rushed for 224 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also picked up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 55 yards.
With the win, River Islands broke their five-game losing streak and moved their record to 2-6. ElFarra and River Islands will welcome Viewpoint at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
