Three Rivers (8 Man) 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!
Marmaton Valley Gets a Boost from Lawson in 46-0 Win
Starting off the list is Marmaton Valley's Brayden Lawson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Lawson threw for 164 yards and three touchdowns on only nine passes, and also rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Lawson might just drop another big game when he faces off against Crest on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Lawson saw the Lancers), he threw for 198 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 passes.

For the year, Barker has run in 10 touchdowns while averaging 77.5 rushing yards per game.

Jaedon Granere Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Marmaton Valley got the W thanks in part to Jaedon Granere playing the best football he has all season. Granere wasn't messing around, picking up 81 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground. The match was his fourth straight with two or more receiving touchdowns dating back to last season.
For the year, Granere has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 70.8 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 46.2 receiving yards per game.

Josh Hutchinson Makes It Two for Oswego
The second Oswego player making an appearance here is Josh Hutchinson, and for good reason. He rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending a pass.
Hutchinson might have his next game, a road matchup with Cedar Vale/Dexter, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hutchinson saw the Spartans), he rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
