Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Gruber Came Up Big in Sussex County Tech's 21-14 Defeat
Starting off the list is Sussex County Tech's Brian Gruber, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Gruber rushed for 162 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also caught a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 88 yards.
Gruber is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against High Point on Saturday. Gruber rushed for 138 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and High Point duked it out back in September of 2023.
