A-6 East Central (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
A Season-Best Performance from Austin Wright Leads Arickaree over Genoa-Hugo
On Thursday, Arickaree got the W thanks in part to Austin Wright playing the best football he has all season. Wright rushed for 337 yards and five touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also threw for 35 yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Arickaree is undefeated when Wright posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Arickaree has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. Wright and Arickaree will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Cheraw at 1:00 p.m. on November 2nd.
