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!
Big Game from Vineyard As Argonia/Attica Won 45-0
Starting off the list is Argonia/Attica's Carson Vineyard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Vineyard picked up 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 102 rushing yards dating back to last season.
This year, Vineyard has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 34.9 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.

West Elk Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Creyo Koop
West Elk picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Creyo Koop. Koop was unstoppable, picking up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 30 yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
Koop might have his next game, a road matchup with Central, circled on his calendar. When Koop last faced the Raiders back in September of 2023, he rushed for 111 yards and four touchdowns.

Dante Henley Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Dante Henley posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Central over Sedan on Friday. Henley picked up 91 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 56 yards.
Central is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6. They and West Elk are set to duel on Thursday.

A Season-Best Performance from Hunter Henderson Leads Central over Sedan
On Friday, Central had to settle for second even though Hunter Henderson put up the best numbers he has all season. Henderson threw for 152 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 35 yards.
Central and West Elk are set to duel on Thursday. The matchup will pit Henderson up against the Patriots' star running back Creyo Koop. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
