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!
Jonny Mcanerny Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Payson's Jonny McAnerny, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday McAnerny forced a fumble and made ten total tackles (2.0 for loss), good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 66 yards.
The victory (which was Payson's fourth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. McAnerny and Payson will challenge Valley Christian at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Alexander Anderson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Alexander Anderson produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Show Low to the win on Friday. Anderson rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 62 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Show Low's win ended a five-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 3-5. Anderson and Show Low will venture away from home to square off against Blue Ridge at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
