D6 District 2 (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Lane Conway Dazzles in Silver Lake Win
Starting off the list is Silver Lake's Lane Conway, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Conway rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
This season, Conway has averaged 54.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to five.

Red Cloud Wins Fifth-Straight Thanks to Gage Ely
Gage Ely's big game helped extend Red Cloud's winning streak to five on Friday. Ely wasn't messing around, rushing for 82 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, while also throwing for 18 yards and a touchdown. The contest was his fifth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
On the year, Ely has run in 13 touchdowns while averaging 142 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he had one rushing touchdown.

Jaxon Tenbensel Makes It Two for Silver Lake
The second Silver Lake player making an appearance here is Jaxon Tenbensel, and for good reason. He rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on only five carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, defending two passes and snagged an interception which he returned for a touchdown.
On the season, Tenbensel has run in 3 touchdowns while averaging 48.8 rushing yards per game.

Englehart Came Up Big in Red Cloud's 60-7 Victory
Red Cloud picked up their fifth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Hunter Englehart. Englehart turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 63 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, while also catching a touchdown.
Englehart must have Harvard's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Englehart saw the Cardinals), he rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
