D6 District 4 (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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 Has Career Rushing Day
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.
For the season, 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 Performance
On Friday, Sumner-Eddyville-Miller got the W thanks in part to Jordan Scoville playing the best football he has all season. 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, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 66 yards.
If the past is any indication, Scoville could be in store for another big game when he takes on 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
While Paxton might've come up empty on Friday, Joe Eakins wasn't going down without a fight. Wallace had no answer to Eakins as he picked up 60 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown.
The loss snapped Paxton's winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-2 record. Eakins and Paxton will square off against Sumner-Eddyville-Miller at 1:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 53.85
Ashtin Johns' Big Game Leads Wallace over Paxton
Ashtin Johns was instrumental in extending Wallace's winning streak to four on Friday. Paxton had no answer to Johns as he rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for seven yards and a touchdown. Johns' rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 151 rushing yards dating back to last season.
On the 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.
Gamescore: 47.37
Billeter Posts Huge Game in 51-20 Victory
Another Southwest player making an appearance on this list is Houston Billeter. 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.
This year, Billeter has thrown 23 touchdowns (and and only 4 pick) while averaging 271.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 78.2 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 122.12 passer rating.
