D1 District 7 (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Souerdyke Came Up Big in Thayer Central's 60-18 Victory
Starting off the list is Thayer Central's Sam Souerdyke, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Souerdyke rushed for 209 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made six total tackles and defended two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
Souerdyke and Thayer Central will square off against Exeter-Milligan/Friend at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Souerdyke took on the Bobcats, he rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Sandy Creek Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Ethan Shaw
Ethan Shaw's big game helped extend Sandy Creek's winning streak to seven on Friday. Shaw turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 106 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 183 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Exeter-Milligan/Friend had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Shaw it was a similar story. Shaw rushed for 85 yards and four touchdowns, and also threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per attempt the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 74.50
Connor Rempe was instrumental in extending Sandy Creek's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Rempe as he picked up 38 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 33 yards.
Unfortunately for Exeter-Milligan/Friend, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Rempe. Rempe picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 51 yards the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in September of 2023.

Sutton now has a winning record of 4-3. Huxoll will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Tri County on Friday.
