Casey Grusser Drops League-Best Effort on Friday
Starting off the list is Ramapo's Casey Grusser, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Grusser rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns while completing 76.9% of his passes.
This year, Grusser has thrown 5 touchdowns while averaging 162.6 passing yards per game.

Colin Burns Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Ridgewood found a leader in Colin Burns as the team took down Hackensack on Friday. Burns showed up in a big way, rushing for 137 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.2). He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making a tackle (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Ridgewood's win bumped their record up to 5-1. Burns and Ridgewood will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Northern Highlands at 6:15 p.m. on October 18th.

Owen Laffey Makes It Two for Ridgewood
Keeping Burns company is Owen Laffey, a fellow Ridgewood player. He rushed for 104 yards.
For the year, Laffey has averaged 23 rushing yards per game.

Cabrales Came Up Big in Wayne Valley's 17-7 Loss
While Jeriah Cabrales delivered a dominant performance on Saturday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Wayne Valley. Cabrales was unstoppable, picking up 99 receiving yards, while also rushing for 41 yards.
This season, Cabrales has averaged 33.5 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.67 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 31.67 rushing yards.

Zak Darwish Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Ramapo got the W thanks in part to Zak Darwish playing the best football he has all season. Darwish wasn't messing around, forcing a fumble and making 16 total tackles (1.0 for loss). The game was his eighth straight with seven or more total tackles dating back to last season.
This year, Darwish has averaged 11 total tackles per game and for the season has 1 sack. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 6.6 total tackles per game.
