South-West Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Sunday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Gavin Walker Delivers Best Performance of Season
Masuk was led to victory by Gavin Walker, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Sunday. Walker rushed for 166 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries, and also picked up 98 receiving yards and one touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This season, Walker has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 38.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 25.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 49.08 rushing yards.
