Three Rivers (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!
Big Game from Lawson As Marmaton Valley Won 46-0
Starting off the list is Marmaton Valley's Brayden Lawson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Lawson threw for 164 yards and three touchdowns on only nine passes, and also rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
Lawson is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Crest on Friday. Lawson threw for 198 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 passes the last time he and the Lancers duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 45.93
Oswego found a leader in Demitri Williamson as the team took down Northeast on Friday. Williamson did his part (and then some), rushing for 50 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 22 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
On the season, Williamson has run in 10 touchdowns while averaging 78.7 rushing yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Jaedon Granere Leads Marmaton Valley over Waverly
Marmaton Valley was led to victory by Jaedon Granere, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Granere wasn't messing around, picking up 81 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground. The matchup was his fourth straight with two or more receiving touchdowns dating back to last season.
Granere and Marmaton Valley will host Crest at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Granere took on the Lancers, he picked up 59 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Josh Hutchinson Makes It Two for Oswego
The second Oswego player making an appearance here is Josh Hutchinson, and for good reason. He rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending a pass.
Hutchinson is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Cedar Vale/Dexter on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Hutchinson saw the Spartans), he rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
Gamescore: 32.80
A Constellation of Stars for Marmaton Valley
Another Marmaton Valley player making an appearance on this list is Cooper Scharff. He rushed for 38 yards.
This year, Scharff has averaged 60.2 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 65.5 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 24.28
