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!
Chris Ciarniello Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is North Kingstown's Chris Ciarniello, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Ciarniello made eight total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This season, Ciarniello has averaged 10.2 total tackles per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he was only averaging 12.8 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 46.2 receiving yards.
Gamescore: 38.55
Jeremy Seidi and Co. Win Third in a Row
Bishop Hendricken picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jeremy Seidi. Seidi was dynamite, picking up a sack and making five total tackles. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 62 yards.
This season, Seidi has averaged 4.1 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 61.29 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 31.80
Cornell Posts Huge Game in 28-21 Defeat
Cranston West had to settle for second on Friday, but Kelan Cornell sure wasn't going down easily. Barrington had no answer to Cornell as he threw for 190 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Cornell has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 151.9 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 96.29 passing yards per game.
