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!
Enlow Posts Huge Game in 63-21 Defeat
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.
Enlow must have Seneca's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Enlow last faced the Indians back in October of 2023, he rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown.
