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 Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Kyle Cox Delivers Electric Performance Vs Mullen
Sandhills/Thedford picked up their 16th consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Kyle Cox. Cox was dynamite, rushing for 206 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, while also throwing for 111 yards and four touchdowns. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his 20th straight game with at least 119 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Cox must have Mullen's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Cox saw the Broncos), he rushed for 286 yards and six touchdowns while picking up 13.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 78 yards and a touchdown on only six passes.

Maxwell's win ended a four-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 3-4. Reyes will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Brady on Thursday.
