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!
Conner Ensign Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Anderson's Conner Ensign, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ensign rushed for 101 yards and four touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 104 receiving yards.
Anderson is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Ensign and Anderson will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Edsel Ford at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

While Joe Krolak delivered a dominant performance on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Carlson. Krolak was dynamite, rushing for 176 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, and also throwing for 151 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an incredible 79 yards.
With the defeat, Carlson broke their five-game winning streak and moved their record to 5-1. Krolak and Carlson will host Woodhaven at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jackson Steel Sage Makes It Two for Anderson
Another Anderson player making an appearance on this list is Jackson Steel Sage. He picked up 54 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 70 yards.
For the year, Steel Sage has averaged 150.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 48.67 rushing yards.
