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!
Lathan Whisenton Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Midway got the W thanks in part to Lathan Whisenton playing the best football he has all season. Whisenton rushed for 242 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory made it two in a row for Midway and bumps their season record up to 5-2. Whisenton and Midway will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Killeen at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.

A Season-Best Effort from Tyrieke Wade Leads Shoemaker over Killeen
Shoemaker was led to victory by Tyrieke Wade, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Wade threw for 315 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.7 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries.
Shoemaker now has a winning record of 4-3. Wade will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Bryan on Friday.
