Enlow Made His Presence Known in East Newton's 63-21 Loss
Starting off the list is East Newton's River Enlow, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Enlow rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries.
Unfortunately for Seneca, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Enlow. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Enlow saw the Indians), he rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown.

A Season-Best Performance from Collin Umfleet Leads Monett over Cassville
Monett came up short on Friday despite Collin Umfleet delivering his best game to date. Umfleet rushed for 70 yards and three touchdowns.
For the season, Umfleet has averaged 22.6 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 28.48
Aurora was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Brayden Allen did his best to prevent it. Allen turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 60 receiving yards.
Aurora has traveled a rocky road recently having lost four of their last five contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-6 record this season. Allen will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Cassville on Friday.
