D2 District 9 (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Kyle Cox's Big Game Leads Sandhills/Thedford over Maxwell
Sandhills/Thedford picked up their 18th consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Kyle Cox. Cox was unstoppable, rushing for 171 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, while also throwing for 132 yards and four touchdowns while completing 73.3% of his passes. His rushing production has been exceptional for a while as that marked his 22nd straight game with at least 119 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Maxwell's probably not too fond of Cox given he always seems to get the better of them. Cox rushed for 203 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries, and also threw for 101 yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in September.

Mullen Gets a Boost from Kvanvig in 44-20 Loss

On the season, Kvanvig has run in 19 touchdowns while averaging 86.3 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns.
