Northeast Corner - Big School Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Pruitt Came Up Big in West Noble's 35-0 Win
Starting off the list is West Noble's Estil Pruitt, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Pruitt rushed for 280 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.0 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 50 yards.
Pruitt must have Lakeland's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Pruitt last faced the Lakers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 190 yards and three touchdowns.
