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!
Maverick Chance Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Thursday, Ravenwood got the W thanks in part to Maverick Chance playing the best football he has all season. Chance rushed for 103 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 38 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 53 yards.
The victory for Ravenwood keeps them at an undefeated 7-0. Chance and Ravenwood will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Franklin at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

Independence's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Matthew Horner
Independence's nine-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Matthew Horner. Horner produced his best game of the campaign on Thursday: he rushed for 113 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 55 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Independence's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-6. Horner and Independence will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Fairview at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
Gamescore: 24.73
While Luke Thompson delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Franklin. Despite the loss, Thompson was still balling out as he picked up 37 receiving yards.
With the defeat, Franklin broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 4-3. Thompson and Franklin will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Ravenwood at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
