South Central Border (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!
Vineyard Posts Huge Game in 45-0 Win
Starting off the list is Argonia/Attica's Carson Vineyard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Vineyard picked up 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 102 rushing yards.
On the season, Vineyard has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 34.9 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.

Trent Haag and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Trent Haag's big game helped extend West Elk's winning streak to seven on Friday. Northeast had no answer to Haag as he rushed for 54 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 88 yards and a touchdown.
West Elk's win was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-0. They and Central are set to duel on Thursday.

Creyo Koop Dazzles in West Elk Win
Creyo Koop was instrumental in extending West Elk's winning streak to seven on Friday. Koop was dynamite, picking up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 30 yards and two touchdowns. Koop is crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least two every time he's taken the field this season.
If history really does repeat itself, Koop might just drop another big game when he faces off against Central on Friday. Koop rushed for 111 yards and four touchdowns the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in September of 2023.

Dante Henley Turns in Season-Best Effort

Central is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6. They and West Elk are set to duel on Thursday.
