Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ohatchee Gets a Boost from Jones in 37-30 Victory
Starting off the list is Ohatchee's Nate Jones, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jones rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Ohatchee: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
If history really does repeat itself, Jones might just drop another big game when he faces off against Glencoe on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Jones saw the Yellowjackets), he rushed for 201 yards and three touchdowns.
