Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Paris Melvin Jr Goes Supernova in Cypress Springs Victory
Starting off the list is Cypress Springs's Paris Melvin Jr, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Melvin Jr rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.6 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 60 yards.
The win (which was Cypress Springs' third in a row) raised their record to 8-2. Melvin Jr and Cypress Springs will take on Tomball at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Landon Bridges Turns in Season-Best Effort
Cypress Lakes came up short on Saturday despite Landon Bridges delivering his best game to date. Bridges rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.2 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Cypress Lakes' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 0-6 when he doesn't).
On the season, Bridges has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 15.6 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to eight.

Hagger Made His Presence Known in Cypress Springs' 44-37 Victory
Jared Hagger posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Saturday. He rushed for 144 yards while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 144 yards and two touchdowns.
This year, Hagger has thrown 14 touchdowns while averaging 147 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 40.30
While Darien Rogers delivered a dominant performance on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Cypress Woods. Despite the loss, Rogers was still balling out as he rushed for 61 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 178 yards and a touchdown. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 59 yards.
This year, Rogers has thrown 27 touchdowns (and and only 2 pick) while averaging 203.8 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he had five rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 12.

Bridgeland's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-1. Lewis and Bridgeland will welcome Klein Oak at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
