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
On Friday, Oxford got the W thanks in part to Johnathan Schroeder playing the best football he has all season. 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 win was the fourth in a row for Oxford, bringing their record for this year to 5-1. Schroeder will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Udall on Friday.

Cordell Jordan Delivers Electric Performance Vs Kiowa County
Keeping Schroeder company is Cordell Jordan, a fellow Oxford player. He rushed for 133 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Jordan might have his next game, a home matchup with Udall, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jordan saw the Eagles), he rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries.

Koop Made His Presence Known in West Elk's 56-0 Victory
Creyo Koop's big game helped extend West Elk's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Koop as he rushed for 118 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also caught 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.
Unfortunately for Sedan, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Koop. Koop 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 the last time he and the Devils duked it out back in September of 2023.

West Elk Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Trent Haag
West Elk picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Trent Haag. Haag turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 97 yards and three touchdowns on perfect 5-for-5 passing, while also rushing for 55 yards on only five carries.
Unfortunately for Sedan, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Haag. Haag rushed for 78 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns while completing 92.3% of his passes the last time he and the Devils duked it out back in September of 2023.

With the defeat, Argonia/Attica broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 4-2. Vineyard and Argonia/Attica will look to defend their home field on Friday against Ashland at 7:00 p.m.
