Pioneer Valley 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!
Brock Galer Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Lincoln got the W thanks in part to Brock Galer playing the best football he has all season. Galer rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up 1.5 sacks and made four total tackles.
Galer and Lincoln will challenge Colfax at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Galer will face off against Noah Smith, the Falcons' star QB. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Josiah Rubidoux Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Josiah Rubidoux posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown on only five carries, and also picked up 41 receiving yards and a touchdown.
For the season, Rubidoux has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 29.2 receiving yards per game.

Dennis Syders Goes Supernova in Marysville Win
Dennis Syders's big game helped extend Marysville's winning streak to three on Friday. Wheatland had no answer to Syders as he rushed for 105 yards and three touchdowns. Syders is becoming a predictor of Marysville's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 3-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Marysville's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-4. Syders will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Oakmont on Friday.
Gamescore: 30.28
Ogles Came Up Big in Oakmont's 56-0 Win
Oakmont picked up their third consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Beau Ogles. Ogles turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 63 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 49 yards and a touchdown.
This season, Ogles has thrown 11 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 125.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 54.31 passer rating per game. This year he is averaging 98.65 passer rating.
Gamescore: 25.17
Garrett Lewis Makes It Two for Colfax

This season, Lewis has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 22.8 receiving yards per game.
