Mid-Eastern 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 Ullom As Monroe Central Won 45-0
Starting off the list is Monroe Central's Jerimiah Ullom, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ullom rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up three sacks and making six total tackles.
Ullom must have Irvington Preparatory Academy's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Ullom last faced the back in October of 2023, he picked up 55 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 37 yards and a touchdown.

Eastern Hancock Gets a Boost from Kube in 41-7 Win

Kube might have his next game, a home matchup with Lapel, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Kube saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 228 yards and five touchdowns.
