Breckan Maran's Big Game Leads Fairfield over Lakeland
Starting off the list is Fairfield's Breckan Maran, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Maran rushed for 137 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
Maran might have his next game, a home matchup with Churubusco, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Maran saw the Eagles), he rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.

Carson Mickem put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.

Big Game from Pruitt As West Noble Won 58-0
West Noble found a leader in Estil Pruitt as the team took down Churubusco on Friday. Nobody could stop Pruitt as he rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry.
Pruitt must have Churubusco's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Pruitt saw the Eagles), he rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
