D2 District 6 (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Zaden Wolf Delivers Best Effort of Season
Central Valley was led to victory by Zaden Wolf, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Wolf wasn't messing around, rushing for 175 yards and five touchdowns on only nine carries, while also throwing for 78 yards and two touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes. The match was his seventh straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season. His longest rush was for an impressive 61 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Wolf and Central Valley will square off against Chambers/Wheeler Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The contest will pit Wolf up against the Renegades' star QB Michael Jesse. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
Gamescore: 82.38

Jesse Came Up Big in Chambers/Wheeler Central's 52-12 Loss
While Chambers/Wheeler Central might've come up empty on Friday, Michael Jesse wasn't going down without a fight. Jesse was unstoppable, throwing for 95 yards and two touchdowns while completing 88.9% of his passes, and also rushing for 58 yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, forcing two fumbles and making eight total tackles.

Garrett Hasenauer Dazzles in Twin Loup Victory
Garrett Hasenauer was a major factor in Twin Loup's win over Anselmo-Merna on Friday. Hasenauer did his part (and then some), rushing for 144 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries for the 'W'. He is becoming a predictor of Twin Loup's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Twin Loup has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 3-4 record this season. Hasenauer and Twin Loup will face off against Burwell on Friday.
