Anchor Bay Gets a Boost from Hanson Iii in 24-21 Defeat
Starting off the list is Anchor Bay's Gerry Hanson Iii, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hanson Iii picked up 93 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Chippewa Valley's probably not too fond of Hanson Iii given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Hanson Iii saw the Big Reds), he picked up 232 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 29.12
While Dakota might've come up empty on Friday, Brady Hamby wasn't going down without a fight. Hamby turned in nothing short of a gem, making four total tackles (1.0 for loss).
With the loss, Dakota broke their six-game winning streak and moved their record to 6-1. Hamby and Dakota are taking a road trip to square off against Utica on Friday.
