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!
Shoemaker Made His Presence Known in Cozad's 29-26 Defeat
Starting off the list is Cozad's Noah Shoemaker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Shoemaker rushed for 143 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry, and also threw for 186 yards on 18 of 28 attempts. He didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles and defended a pass.
Cozad moved to 5-2 with that defeat, which also ended their five-game winning streak. Shoemaker and Cozad will venture away from home to square off against Holdrege at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 54.20
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Cade Harsin stepped things up a notch to give Minden the 'W'. Harsin was unstoppable, picking up 80 receiving yards and a touchdown. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 51 yards.
This year, Harsin has caught those 1 touchdown while averaging 18.6 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 24.67
Orrin Kuehn Makes It Two for Minden
Keeping Harsin company is Orrin Kuehn, a fellow Minden player. He rushed for 85 yards.
Kuehn and Minden will take on Gothenburg at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Whippets had to take a loss when they last met the Swedes, but Kuehn had little to do with the loss: he rushed for 110 yards on only 14 carries. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Myles Ide Makes It Two for Cozad
The second Cozad player making an appearance here is Myles Ide, and for good reason. He picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles.
For the year, Ide has averaged 3.6 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 sacks. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 1.86 total tackles per game.
