South Central Border (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!
Johnathan Schroeder Turns in Season-Best Performance
Johnathan Schroeder produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Oxford to the win on Friday. Schroeder rushed for 188 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 7.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 155 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Schroeder and Oxford will face off against Udall at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Schroeder took on the Eagles, he rushed for 67 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
Gamescore: 79.28
Big Game from Jordan As Oxford Won 84-58
Keeping Schroeder company is Cordell Jordan, a fellow Oxford player. He rushed for 133 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 64 receiving yards and a touchdown.
If history really does repeat itself, Jordan might just drop another big game when he faces off against Udall on Friday. When Jordan last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 106 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries.

Creyo Koop Dazzles in West Elk Victory
Creyo Koop's big game helped extend West Elk's winning streak to six on Friday. Koop was unstoppable, rushing for 118 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, while also catching a touchdown. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Sedan had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Koop it was a similar story. When Koop last faced the Devils back in September of 2023, he rushed for 189 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.9 yards per carry, and also picked up 99 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 62.58
West Elk Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Trent Haag
West Elk picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Trent Haag. Haag was unstoppable, throwing for 97 yards and three touchdowns on perfect 5-for-5 passing, while also rushing for 55 yards on only five carries.
Haag must have Sedan's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Haag saw the Devils), he rushed for 78 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns while completing 92.3% of his passes.
Gamescore: 32.97
Vineyard Posts Huge Game in 28-12 Loss
Rounding off our Top Five is Carson Vineyard of Argonia/Attica. Vineyard rushed for 128 yards, and also threw for 82 yards and a touchdown on only six passes. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 128 rushing yards dating back to last season.
With the defeat, Argonia/Attica broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 4-2. Vineyard and Argonia/Attica will host Ashland at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
