Central Suburban - North 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!
Olurotimi Posts Huge Game in 17-8 Defeat
Starting off the list is Maine East's Okiki Olurotimi, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Olurotimi picked up a sack, made 13 total tackles (3.0 for loss), and defended a pass. Olurotimi is crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least seven every time he's taken the field this season.
Maine East has been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-5 record this season. Olurotimi will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Niles West on Friday.
