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!
A Season-Best Effort from Alijah Jenkins Leads Osceola over Viera
Alijah Jenkins produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Osceola to the win on Friday. Jenkins rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, and also picked up 49 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory (which was Osceola's sixth in a row) raised their record to 9-2. Jenkins and Osceola have the luxury of staying home for another week and will welcome Durant at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Swint As Osceola Won 58-14
Taevion Swint was instrumental in extending Osceola's winning streak to six on Friday. Swint did his part (and then some), rushing for 57 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, while also picking up 52 receiving yards and a touchdown for the 'W'. He has been hot for a while, having posted two or more rushing touchdowns the last nine times he's played.
Viera had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Swint it was a similar story. When Swint last faced the Hawks back in October, he rushed for 139 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.2 yards per carry.

Camren West Delivers Best Effort of Season
Osceola was led to victory by Camren West, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. West threw for 110 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 40 yards.
On the year, West has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 47.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging four rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 19 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 23.23
Viera had to settle for second on Friday, but Nnamdi Osuorah sure wasn't going down easily. Osuorah turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 141 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 20.43
Eric Nelson Makes It Two for Viera
Keeping Osuorah company is Eric Nelson, a fellow Viera player. He threw for 199 yards and a touchdown while completing 76.2% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
This season, Nelson has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 103.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 3.56 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 66.18 rushing yards.
