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!
Gage Friesen Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is High Plains's Gage Friesen, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Friesen's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 138 rushing yards dating back to last season. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played.
High Plains' victory was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Friesen and High Plains will take on Lawrence-Nelson at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.

A Season-Best Effort from Jackson Williams Leads Lawrence-Nelson over Giltner
On Friday, Lawrence-Nelson got the W thanks in part to Jackson Williams playing the best football he has all season. Williams rushed for 97 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries. He has become a key player for Lawrence-Nelson: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
Lawrence-Nelson pushed their record up to 5-3 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Williams and Lawrence-Nelson will square off against High Plains at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
