1A 6 Man 1 Region III District 9 (6 Man) 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!
Josh Novak Turns in Season-Best Performance
Josh Novak produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Avalon to the win on Friday. Novak wasn't messing around, rushing for 245 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 12.9 yards per carry, and also throwing for 78 yards and two touchdowns. The contest was his ninth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season. He is trending in the right direction considering he's improved his point production for three straight games.
Unfortunately for Milford, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Novak. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Novak saw the Bulldogs), he rushed for 226 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 80 yards and two touchdowns.
