Owen Jurjavcic Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is East Palestine's Owen Jurjavcic, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jurjavcic's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 122 rushing yards dating back to last season. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 57 yards.
For the year, Jurjavcic has averaged 89.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had six rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 22.
