D6 District 5 (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Alec Watchorn Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Leyton's Alec Watchorn, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Watchorn's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 134 rushing yards. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 58 yards.
For the year, Watchorn has thrown 18 touchdowns (and and only 1 pick) while averaging 126.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 13.
Gamescore: 80.32
Dylan Tabor was a major factor in Potter-Dix's victory over Creek Valley on Thursday. Creek Valley had no answer to Tabor as he rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, and also threw for 110 yards and two touchdowns. Tabor is becoming a predictor of Potter-Dix's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
This season, Tabor has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 78 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after six games last season, he was only averaging 31.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 131.5 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 65.27
Landon Gasseling Makes It Two for Potter-Dix
Keeping Tabor company is Landon Gasseling, a fellow Potter-Dix player. He picked up 110 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 14 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those receiving yards came from one huge play: a catch that gained an incredible 65 yards.
For the season, Gasseling has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 60.2 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 29.33 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 44.38
While Lane Brenneman delivered a dominant performance on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Creek Valley. Potter-Dix had no answer to Brenneman as he rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 58 receiving yards. Brenneman showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 59 yards.
Creek Valley is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. Brenneman's next matchup is against Garden County on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
Gamescore: 43.87
Joshua Estrada Has Career-Day on Thursday
Joshua Estrada posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Thursday. He rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries, and also picked up 43 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Estrada has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 14.9 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.86 receiving yards per game.
