Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Trey Greenwell Drops League-Best Effort on Thursday
Starting off the list is Decatur's Trey Greenwell, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Greenwell made nine total tackles and defended a pass. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 75 yards.
For the year, Greenwell has averaged 6.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one receiving touchdown. This year he is already up to two.

This is the second loss in a row for Athens and nudges their season record down to 5-2. It'll be Battle of the Birds when Golden Eagles dukes it out withColumbia at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Cayden Oliver Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sadly, Cayden Oliver posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Decatur over Mae Jemison on Thursday. Oliver wasn't messing around, forcing two fumbles and making 15 total tackles. The match was his ninth straight with five or more total tackles dating back to last season.
On the season, Oliver has averaged 11.2 total tackles per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 5.5 total tackles per game.
