Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ryan Deitelbaum Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Naugatuck's Ryan Deitelbaum, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Deitelbaum rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (102.7) per game. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 60 yards.
The victory (which was Naugatuck's third in a row) raised their record to 8-1. Deitelbaum and Naugatuck will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Ansonia at 10:00 a.m. on November 28th.

Christian Morales Has Career Rushing Day
Christian Morales posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries. He is becoming a predictor of Woodland Regional's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
Woodland Regional's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-3. Morales and Woodland Regional will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Seymour at 6:00 p.m. on November 27th.
