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!
Joseph Brown's Big Game Leads Liberty Ranch over El Dorado
Starting off the list is Liberty Ranch's Joseph Brown, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Brown rushed for 284 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 67 yards.
Unfortunately for El Dorado, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Brown. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Brown saw the Cougars), he rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 59 receiving yards.
Gamescore: 79.08
Andrew Quinn Makes It Two for Liberty Ranch
Another Liberty Ranch player making an appearance on this list is Andrew Quinn. He wasn't messing around on Friday, rushing for 170 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry. The game was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made three total tackles (1.5 for loss).
On the season, Quinn has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 69.3 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 47.25
Big Game from Wilson As El Dorado Fell 56-37
While El Dorado might've come up empty on Friday, Jason Wilson wasn't going down without a fight. Wilson was dynamite, rushing for 63 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 239 yards and two touchdowns.
On the year, Wilson has thrown 7 touchdowns while averaging 145 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 12.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.43 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 42.33
Bradshaw Christian Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Nathan Zeppieri
Nathan Zeppieri was instrumental in extending Bradshaw Christian's winning streak to seven on Friday. Zeppieri was dynamite, rushing for 107 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries.
Union Mine's probably not too fond of Zeppieri given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Zeppieri saw the Diamondbacks), he rushed for 78 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also caught a touchdown.
Gamescore: 39.88
Brandon Burden was instrumental in extending Bradshaw Christian's winning streak to seven on Friday. Burden turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, while also picking up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately for Union Mine, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Burden. Burden rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries the last time he and the Diamondbacks duked it out back in November of 2023.
