DuKane 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!
Yorke Posts Huge Game in 27-14 Victory
Starting off the list is Wheaton-Warrenville South's Owen Yorke, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Yorke rushed for 203 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 70 receiving yards. He is becoming a predictor of Wheaton-Warrenville South's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Wheaton-Warrenville South now has a winning record of 4-3. Yorke's next game is against Batavia on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Bodi Anderson Delivers Best Performance of Season
Batavia was led to victory by Bodi Anderson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Anderson rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 140 yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
On the year, Anderson has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 134.7 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 6.29 passing yards per game.

Ethan Plumb Dazzles in St. Charles North Win
Ethan Plumb was instrumental in extending St. Charles North's winning streak to three on Friday. Plumb turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 275 yards and three touchdowns while completing 78.6% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
On the year, Plumb has thrown 17 touchdowns (and and only 2 picks) while averaging 206.7 passing yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Sean Keegan Leads St. Charles East over Batavia
Sadly, Sean Keegan posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead St. Charles East over Batavia on Friday. Keegan rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 72 yards.
St. Charles East has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season. Keegan and St. Charles East will challenge Geneva at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
