Graylyn Fry's Big Game Leads Panther Creek over Lake Dallas
Starting off the list is Panther Creek's Graylyn Fry, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Fry threw for 371 yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 42 yards. His passing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 303 passing yards.
Panther Creek's victory was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 7-1. Fry and Panther Creek will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Aubrey at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.

Dylan Brauchle Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
On Friday, Lake Dallas had to settle for second even though Dylan Brauchle put up the best numbers he has all season. Brauchle rushed for 197 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 40 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This season, Brauchle has averaged 21.4 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 54.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 119.86 rushing yards.

Skylar Lewis Turns in Season-Best Performance
Skylar Lewis produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Sulphur Springs to the win on Friday. Lewis picked up 130 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, connecting on a big catch that went for 58 yards.
If the past is any indication, Lewis could be in store for another big game when he takes on Community on Friday. When Lewis last faced the Braves back in October of 2023, he picked up 79 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
