Sean Murphy Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Mascoutah's Sean Murphy, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Murphy's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 112 rushing yards.
Mascoutah's defeat was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 3-5. Murphy and Mascoutah will square off against Carbondale at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Ian Dempsey Leads Triad over Civic Memorial
On Friday, Triad got the W thanks in part to Ian Dempsey playing the best football he has all season. Dempsey picked up 73 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 60 yards.
Dempsey is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Collinsville on Friday. Dempsey picked up 165 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Kahoks duked it out back in October of 2023.
