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!
Colin Mihelic Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Starting off the list is Heritage's Colin Mihelic, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mihelic rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (101.6) per game. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 119 rushing yards.
Heritage's win ended an eight-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-4. Mihelic and Heritage will be playing at home against Loudoun Valley at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Chase Loftis Leads Loudoun Valley over Rocktown
On Friday, Loudoun Valley got the W thanks in part to Chase Loftis playing the best football he has all season. Loftis wasn't messing around, picking up a sack, forcing two fumbles, and making ten total tackles (3.0 for loss). The game was his seventh straight with six or more total tackles.
Loudoun Valley now has a winning record of 4-3. Loftis and Loudoun Valley are on the road again on Friday to play Heritage at 7:00 p.m.

Ethan Lafollette Turns in Season-Best Performance
Ethan Lafollette produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Loudoun Valley to the win on Friday. Lafollette rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in September of 2023. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making two total tackles and defending two passes.
Lafollette is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Heritage on Friday. Lafollette rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries the last time he and the Pride duked it out back in October of 2023.
