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!
Kobe Craig Goes Supernova in Damonte Ranch Victory
Starting off the list is Damonte Ranch's Kobe Craig, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Craig rushed for 177 yards while picking up 9.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 32 receiving yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 145 rushing yards dating back to last season.
The win (which was Damonte Ranch's third in a row) raised their record to 4-4. Craig and Damonte Ranch will take on Carson at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Kermode Made His Presence Known in Galena's 51-6 Win
Colson Kermode's big game helped extend Galena's winning streak to four on Friday. Kermode was dynamite, throwing for 190 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes.
If the past is any indication, Kermode could be in store for another big game when he takes on Wooster on Friday. Back in November of 2023 (the last time Kermode saw the Colts), he rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 230 yards and a touchdown while picking up 11.5 yards per attempt.
