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!
A Season-Best Performance from Izeiah Oates Leads Eastern Wayne over Princeton
Eastern Wayne was led to victory by Izeiah Oates, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Oates rushed for 120 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 207 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made eight total tackles.
Princeton had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Oates it was a similar story. When Oates last faced the Bulldogs back in October, he threw for 238 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 30 yards and a touchdown.
