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!
Judson Walls Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Central Fellowship Christian Academy's Judson Walls, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Walls rushed for 287 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 130 or more in the last eight games he's played dating back to last season.
The win made it two in a row for Central Fellowship Christian Academy and bumps their season record up to 3-6. They and Cherokee Christian are set to duel on Friday.
