Railbelt Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Oschaun Easaw Turns in Season-Best Performance
Lathrop was led to victory by Oschaun Easaw, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Easaw rushed for 205 yards and four touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 115 or more in the last nine games he's played.
Easaw is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against North Pole on Saturday. Easaw rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Patriots duked it out back in September.
Gamescore: 60.20
Deshon Hall Makes It Two for Lathrop
Another Lathrop player making an appearance on this list is Deshon Hall. He picked up 30 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the year, Hall has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 12.7 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 23.58
Eagle River was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Braden Ott did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Ott as he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made nine total tackles. He is becoming a predictor of Eagle River's success: when he posts at least three total tackles the team is 2-1 (and 2-4 when he doesn't).
This season, Ott has averaged 4.6 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks.
Gamescore: 22.75
Jimmy Runnels Rounds Out Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Jimmy Runnels of North Pole. Runnels wasn't messing around on Friday, picking up a sack and making ten total tackles. The match was his sixth straight with five or more total tackles.
North Pole moved to 7-2 with that defeat, which also ended their seven-game winning streak. Runnels and North Pole have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Lathrop at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
