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!
Braden Brown Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Triton Central's Braden Brown, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Brown made six total tackles (2.0 for loss). The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 84 yards.
The victory (which was Triton Central's fourth in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Brown's next game is against Speedway on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
Gamescore: 67.17
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Luke McDonald stepped things up a notch to give Indianapolis Scecina Memorial the 'W'. Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter had no answer to McDonald as he made eight total tackles.
On the season, McDonald has averaged 1.4 total tackles per game and for the season has 2 interceptions.

Indianapolis Lutheran was led to victory by LJ Ward, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Ward picked up 176 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 85 yards.
The victory (which was Indianapolis Lutheran's fifth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Ward will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Beech Grove on Friday.
