Southern Central - Red (8 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!
Owen Gorham Dazzles in Mendon Win
Owen Gorham was instrumental in extending Mendon's winning streak to six on Friday. Gorham did his part (and then some), rushing for 256 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 11.1 yards per carry for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Gorham might have his next game, a road matchup with St. Philip Catholic Central, circled on his calendar. When Gorham last faced the Fighting Tigers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 177 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry.

Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Seth Keson
Seth Keson continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his fourth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 177 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also threw for 145 yards and two touchdowns.
If the past is any indication, Keson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Climax-Scotts on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Keson saw the Panthers), he rushed for 132 yards, and also threw for 110 yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 65.53
Riley Beaumont Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Another Bellevue player making an appearance on this list is Riley Beaumont. He picked up 186 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The performance once again pushed his average receiving yardage north of 100 yards per game (119.5). He showed off some serious burst, lighting up the secondary with a catch for 54 yards.

Mendon Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to James T Lux
James T Lux was instrumental in extending Mendon's winning streak to six on Friday. T Lux was dynamite, rushing for 97 yards on only nine carries, while also picking up 33 receiving yards. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making six total tackles.
If history really does repeat itself, T Lux might just drop another big game when he faces off against St. Philip Catholic Central on Saturday. When T Lux last faced the Fighting Tigers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 199 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries.

Big Game from Gorham As Mendon Won 66-42
Mendon picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ryder Gorham. Gorham was dynamite, throwing for 132 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground.
This season, Gorham has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 57.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 16.32 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 126.22 passer rating.
