Mid Northwest - Gopher-Gold 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!
Jett Olson Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg's Jett Olson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Olson's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 108 rushing yards dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 67 yards.
This year, Olson has averaged 7.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had nine rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 14.
