Kinsey Came Up Big in Toronto's 29-27 Loss
Starting off the list is Toronto's Zebulin Kinsey, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kinsey threw for 278 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 87 yards on only 12 carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
This season, Kinsey has thrown 22 touchdowns while averaging 233.7 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 33 passing yards per game.

Drake Boucher Makes It Two for Toronto
Another Toronto player making an appearance on this list is Drake Boucher. He made eight total tackles. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 61 yards.
For the year, Boucher has averaged 7.3 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 33.73
Jimmy Hernon Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Jimmy Hernon was a major factor in Catholic Central's victory over Carrick on Saturday. Hernon was excellent, rushing for 105 yards and three touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (100.4). Catholic Central is undefeated when Hernon posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
For the season, Hernon has run in 16 touchdowns while averaging 100.4 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.1 rushing yards per game.

Big Game from Pergi As Catholic Central Won 26-18
Another Catholic Central player making an appearance on this list is Tommy Pergi. He rushed for 99 yards and a touchdown.
Unfortunately for Carrick, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Pergi. Pergi rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in September of 2023.
