Nick Peal Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Roswell's Nick Peal, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Peal picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made two total tackles. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up a sack, forcing a fumble, and making two total tackles.
The win (which was Roswell's third in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Peal and Roswell will head out on the road to face off against Chattahoochee at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Kaiden Perry Delivers Best Performance of Season
Roswell was led to victory by Kaiden Perry, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Perry rushed for 137 yards on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an impressive 52 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
This season, Perry has averaged 59.3 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 23.33 rushing yards per game.
