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 Lucas Weber Leads Heritage over Jay County
On Friday, Heritage got the W thanks in part to Lucas Weber playing the best football he has all season. Weber rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 72 yards.
The win was the fourth in a row for Heritage, bringing their record for this year to 8-1. Weber and Heritage are taking a road trip to take on Delta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
