Western Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Kilmer Came Up Big in Gainesville's 35-20 Defeat
Starting off the list is Gainesville's Colton Kilmer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kilmer threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown.
Kilmer must have Patriot's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Kilmer threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.9 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Pioneers duked it out back in October of 2023.
