AJ Pearson Goes Supernova in Girard Victory
Starting off the list is Girard's AJ Pearson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Pearson rushed for 67 yards and three scores, and also threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending one pass.
The win keeps Girard at an undefeated 5-0. Looking ahead, Pearson and the Indians will face off against Lakeview at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Allen Hess-Cardona Turns in Season-Best Effort
Allen Hess-Cardona produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Girard to the win on Friday. Hess-Cardona picked up two sacks and made nine total tackles.
If the past is any indication, Hess-Cardona could be in store for another big game when he takes on Lakeview on Friday. Back in September of 2024 (the last time Hess-Cardona saw the Bulldogs), he picked up a sack and made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss).

David Xipolitas Posts Best Passer Rating Performance Since Back in November of 2024
David Xipolitas put up the most passer rating he's had since back in November of 2024 on Friday. He threw for 117 yards and a pair of TDs while completing 80% of his passes.
On the year, Xipolitas has thrown 6 touchdowns (and no picks) while averaging 81.6 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 27.2 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 26.10
Panormitis Xipolitas Makes It Two for Poland Seminary
Another Poland Seminary player making an appearance on this list is Panormitis Xipolitas. He made 11 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Looking ahead, Xipolitas and Poland Seminary will host South Range at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bulldogs had to take a loss when they last met the Raiders, but Xipolitas had little to do with the loss: he made 18 total tackles. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
