B North Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Messalonskee Gets a Boost from Doucette in 26-20 Defeat
Starting off the list is Messalonskee's Tatum Doucette, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Doucette rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 129 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 passes. Messalonskee is 2-1 when Doucette posts 100 or more rushing yards, but 0-3 otherwise.
Doucette is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Mt. Blue on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Doucette saw the Cougars), he rushed for 173 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 72 yards and a touchdown.
