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 win (which was Oxford's fourth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Schroeder will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Udall on Friday.

Cordell Jordan Dazzles 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.
Jordan is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Udall on Friday. When Jordan last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries.
Gamescore: 65.87
West Elk Gets a Boost from Koop in 56-0 Victory
West Elk picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Creyo Koop. Koop was dynamite, rushing for 118 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, while also catching a touchdown. Koop is crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least two every time he's taken the field this season.
Sedan's probably not too fond of Koop given he always seems to get the better of them. 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. Nobody could stop he on Friday as he threw for 157 yards and four touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
On the year, Criss has thrown 18 touchdowns while averaging 164.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 11.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 24.17 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 41.05
Royce Potter Makes It Two for Cedar Vale/Dexter
Another Cedar Vale/Dexter player making an appearance on this list is Royce Potter. He rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also caught a touchdown. He has become a key player for Cedar Vale/Dexter: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
On the season, Potter has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 23 receiving yards per game.
