TAIAO Division 2 - North (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!
Lubbock T Gets a Boost from Schmidt in 52-6 Victory
Starting off the list is Lubbock T's Korbin Schmidt, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Schmidt rushed for 144 yards and four touchdowns on only seven carries, and also caught a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending two passes.
Lubbock T's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-4. Schmidt and Lubbock T will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Varsity Opponent at 6:00 p.m. on October 31st.

Peyton Ellison Delivers Best Effort of Season
Harvest Christian Academy was led to victory by Peyton Ellison, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Ellison picked up 137 receiving yards and four touchdowns, and also rushed for 36 yards. He didn't just play on offense: he also made nine total tackles and defended two passes.
Unfortunately for Johnson County Sports Association, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Ellison. When Ellison last faced the Lions back in November of 2023, he picked up 112 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.

Sam Tarrant and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Sam Tarrant's big game helped extend King's Academy's winning streak to seven on Friday.
