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!
Kerwin Squire Jr. Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Stratford got the W thanks in part to Kerwin Squire Jr. playing the best football he has all season. Squire Jr. rushed for 191 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.0 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (108.3).
Stratford is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 3-4 record this season. Squire Jr. and Stratford will face off against Cane Bay at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Ballard Posts Huge Game in 42-38 Loss
Lucy Beckham had to settle for second on Friday, but Chalmers Ballard sure wasn't going down easily. Ballard was unstoppable, rushing for 85 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 283 yards and two touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes. Lucy Beckham is 3-1 when Ballard posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
On the year, Ballard has thrown 11 touchdowns while averaging 173.6 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to nine.
