Mississippi 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!
Baruk Jonsson's Big Game Leads Mascoutah over Jersey
Starting off the list is Mascoutah's Baruk Jonsson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jonsson rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.6 yards per carry, and also threw for 128 yards and a touchdown. Those 122 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
This season, Jonsson has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 113.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 32.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 69.86 rushing yards.
