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!
Ethan Latta Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Dundy County-Stratton's Ethan Latta, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Latta rushed for 219 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 9.5 yards per carry. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 57 yards.
Dundy County-Stratton pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Latta and Dundy County-Stratton will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Boyd County at 6:00 p.m. on October 24th.

Big Game from Cacy As Arapahoe Won 51-12
William Cacy's big game helped extend Arapahoe's winning streak to seven on Friday. Cacy was dynamite, rushing for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 106 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Arapahoe pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season. Cacy and Arapahoe will take on St. Patrick's at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Lane Bybee Makes It Two for Dundy County-Stratton
The second Dundy County-Stratton player making an appearance here is Lane Bybee, and for good reason. He wasn't messing around on Friday, picking up 2.5 sacks, forcing a fumble, and making 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss). The match was his third straight with 11 or more total tackles dating back to last season.
This season, Bybee has averaged 11.3 total tackles per game and for the season has 4.5 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one forced fumble. This year he is already up to three.

A Season-Best Performance from Trenton Roskop Leads Arapahoe over Hi-Line [Eustis-Farnam/Elwood]
On Friday, Arapahoe got the W thanks in part to Trenton Roskop playing the best football he has all season. Roskop rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 88 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
On the season, Roskop has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 32.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to seven.
