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!
Jack Gonzalez Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Harrison's Jack Gonzalez, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gonzalez wasn't messing around on Friday, making two total tackles. The contest was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
The victory (which was Harrison's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-2. Gonzalez and Harrison will square off against Lafayette Jefferson at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Echols Came Up Big in Muncie Central's 20-14 Defeat
Dae'Cion Echols put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made eight total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Echols and Muncie Central will challenge Marion at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bearcats got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Giants, probably because Echols had a solid game then too: he rushed for 65 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Keyen Crowder and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Keyen Crowder's big game helped extend Lafayette Jefferson's winning streak to seven on Friday. Crowder did his part (and then some), throwing for 213 yards and four touchdowns, while also rushing for 33 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
Crowder and Lafayette Jefferson will look to defend their home field on Friday against Harrison at 7:00 p.m. Crowder will face off against Lannon Nicoloff, the Raiders' star QB. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Marquis Adkins Dazzles in Lafayette Jefferson Win
Marquis Adkins's big game helped extend Lafayette Jefferson's winning streak to seven on Friday. Adkins did his part (and then some), rushing for 112 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries for the 'W'.
On the year, Adkins has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 72.1 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 35.57 rushing yards per game.
