B - East Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Big Game from Juhnke As Joliet Won 28-8
Starting off the list is Joliet's Kaden Juhnke, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Juhnke threw for 122 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 36 yards and a touchdown. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
Shepherd's probably not too fond of Juhnke given he always seems to get the better of them. When Juhnke last faced the Mustangs back in September of 2023, he threw for 249 yards and four touchdowns while completing 72% of his passes, and also rushed for 40 yards.
