D2 District 6 (8 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!
Luke Shoemaker Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Central Valley's Luke Shoemaker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Shoemaker rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also picked up 61 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win (which was Central Valley's fifth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Shoemaker and Central Valley will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Elm Creek at 7:00 p.m.

Zaden Wolf Delivers Electric Performance Vs Chambers/Wheeler Central
