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!
Kamran Williams Dazzles in Jefferson Win
Kamran Williams's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his 17th-straight game with 124+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
White Oak's probably not too fond of Williams given he always seems to get the better of them. When Williams last faced the Roughnecks back in October of 2023, he rushed for 277 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 carries.

Liberty-Eylau Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Trip Baysinger
Trip Baysinger was instrumental in extending Liberty-Eylau's winning streak to three on Friday. Baysinger was unstoppable, throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also picking up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Batton Made His Presence Known in Atlanta's 50-0 Win
Atlanta found a leader in Markeylin Batton as the squad took down Sabine on Friday. Batton did his part (and then some), rushing for 33 yards and two touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown for the 'W'. Atlanta is undefeated when Batton posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Unfortunately for Sabine, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Batton. Batton rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 104 receiving yards the last time he and the Cardinals duked it out back in October of 2023.

For the season, Prevo has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 115.2 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 15.75 receiving yards per game.

Jefferson Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Tihmyus Taylor
Tihmyus Taylor's big game helped extend Jefferson's winning streak to seven on Friday. White Oak had no answer to Taylor as he threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes. Taylor is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Unfortunately for White Oak, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Taylor. When Taylor last faced the Roughnecks back in October of 2023, he threw for 282 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 passes.
