South Central Border (8 Man) 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!
Johnathan Schroeder Delivers Best Performance of Season
Johnathan Schroeder produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Oxford to the win on Friday. Schroeder rushed for 188 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 155 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory (which was Oxford's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Schroeder will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Udall on Friday.

Cordell Jordan Goes Supernova in Oxford Win
Another Oxford player making an appearance on this list is Cordell Jordan. He rushed for 133 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Jordan might just drop another big game when he faces off against Udall on Friday. Jordan rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries the last time he and the Eagles duked it out back in October of 2023.

Koop Came Up Big in West Elk's 56-0 Win
Creyo Koop's big game helped extend West Elk's winning streak to six on Friday. Koop was unstoppable, rushing for 118 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, while also catching a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Sedan had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Koop it was a similar story. When Koop last faced the Devils back in September of 2023, he rushed for 189 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.9 yards per carry, and also picked up 99 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Underclassman Cooper Criss Comes Up Big Against Central
While Friday's win was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman Cooper Criss. He turned in nothing short of a gem on Friday, throwing for 157 yards and four touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown.
For the year, Criss has thrown 18 touchdowns while averaging 164.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 11.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 24.17 rushing yards.

A Season-Best Performance from Royce Potter Leads Cedar Vale/Dexter over Central
Cedar Vale/Dexter was led to victory by Royce Potter, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Potter rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also caught a touchdown. Cedar Vale/Dexter is undefeated when Potter posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
This year, Potter has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 23 receiving yards per game.
