DCIAA - Stars Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ginyard Posts Huge Game in 40-15 Victory
Starting off the list is Eastern's Daquan Ginyard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ginyard rushed for 217 yards. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 145 rushing yards.
Eastern is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 6-2 record this season. Ginyard's next matchup is against Woodson on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Smith Made His Presence Known in Roosevelt's 35-0 Win
Deyon Smith was a major factor in Roosevelt's victory over Jackson-Reed on Saturday. Smith was unstoppable, rushing for 51 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, while also picking up 35 receiving yards.
Jackson-Reed had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Smith it was a similar story. Smith rushed for 145 yards the last time he and the Tigers duked it out back in October of 2023.
