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!
Antonio Yarbrough Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Garrison's Antonio Yarbrough, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Yarbrough rushed for 208 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now punched in two or more in the last three games he's played.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Garrison, bringing their record for this year to 8-2. Yarbrough and Garrison will host Corrigan-Camden at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
