Christian Sims Jr. Goes Supernova in Lincoln Win
Starting off the list is Lincoln's Christian Sims Jr., who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Sims Jr. rushed for 106 yards on only nine carries, and also threw for 116 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. The dominant performance gave him a new career-high in rushing yards.
This year, Sims Jr. has thrown 16 touchdowns while averaging 125.1 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to five.
