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!
Kamran Williams Goes Supernova in Jefferson Win
Kamran Williams's rushing tear continued on Friday as he dropped his 17th-straight game with 124+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 180 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
White Oak's probably not too fond of Williams given he always seems to get the better of them. Williams rushed for 277 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 carries the last time he and the Roughnecks duked it out back in October of 2023.

Liberty-Eylau Wins Third-Straight Thanks to Trip Baysinger
Liberty-Eylau picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Trip Baysinger. Baysinger was unstoppable, throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also picking up 60 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Liberty-Eylau's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 5-1. Baysinger and Liberty-Eylau will face off against Atlanta at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Batton Posts Huge Game in 50-0 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Markeylin Batton stepped things up a notch to give Atlanta the 'W'. Sabine had no answer to Batton as he rushed for 33 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown. Batton is becoming a predictor of Atlanta's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Unfortunately for Sabine, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Batton. Batton rushed for 155 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also picked up 104 receiving yards the last time he and the Cardinals duked it out back in October of 2023.

Dequane Prevo's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Dequane Prevo posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He picked up 111 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 31 yards and a touchdown.
On the season, Prevo has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 115.2 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after four games last season, he was only averaging 15.75 receiving yards per game.

Tihmyus Taylor and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Tihmyus Taylor was instrumental in extending Jefferson's winning streak to seven on Friday. Taylor was unstoppable, throwing for 314 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
White Oak had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Taylor it was a similar story. When Taylor last faced the Roughnecks back in October of 2023, he threw for 282 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 passes.
