Latrell Carter Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Pine Forest's Latrell Carter, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carter rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 65 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 51 yards.
Pine Forest has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games, which provided a nice bump to their 4-3 record this season. Carter and Pine Forest will take on Triton at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
