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!
Donald Barksdale Delivers Best Effort of Season
Donald Barksdale produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Steel Valley to the win on Friday. Barksdale rushed for 314 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in August. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 76-yard run.
Barksdale must have Ligonier Valley's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Barksdale rushed for 221 yards and five touchdowns on only 14 carries the last time he and the Rams duked it out back in September of 2023.
