Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Jack Dally Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Saturday, Governor Livingston got the W thanks in part to Jack Dally playing the best football he has all season. Dally's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 150 rushing yards. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
Governor Livingston is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 3-4 record this season. Dally and Governor Livingston will challenge Bernards at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
