Onix Carson Goes Supernova in Vallivue Victory
Starting off the list is Vallivue's Onix Carson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Carson rushed for 247 yards while picking up 11.2 yards per carry. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
The win (which was Vallivue's fourth in a row) raised their record to 4-1. Carson and Vallivue will head out on the road to challenge Bishop Kelly at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Emmett pushed their record up to 5-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season. Thayn and Emmett will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Nampa at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

Emmett Gets a Boost from Scheibe in 35-14 Victory
Another Emmett player making an appearance on this list is Ryder Scheibe. He rushed for 106 yards on only 12 carries, and also threw for 73 yards and two touchdowns.
For the season, Scheibe has thrown 12 touchdowns while averaging 122.4 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had seven passing touchdowns.
Gamescore: 24.47
Columbia was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Owen Ovanek did his best to prevent it. Despite the loss, Ovanek was still balling out as he picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles and defending a pass.
Columbia has traveled a rocky road recently having lost three of their last four games, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Ovanek and Columbia will look to defend their home field on Friday against Skyview at 7:00 p.m.
