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!
Jaron Thomas' Big Game Leads Concord over Wawasee
Concord picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jaron Thomas. Thomas did his part (and then some), rushing for 116 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries for the 'W'. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up 0.5 sacks and making eight total tackles.
If history really does repeat itself, Thomas might just drop another big game when he faces off against Plymouth on Friday. When Thomas last faced the Pilgrims/Rockies back in October of 2023, he rushed for 186 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries.
Gamescore: 47.45
While Austin King delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for NorthWood. King was unstoppable, forcing a fumble and making seven total tackles. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble and made seven total tackles.

Underclassman Landon Snyder Comes Up Big Against Plymouth
