5A Division II Northern Top Player Performances of the Week
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 Wilson As Reno Fell 62-28
Starting off the list is Reno's Braylon Wilson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wilson threw for 404 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.5 yards per attempt, and also picked up 56 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Bishop Manogue's probably not too fond of Wilson given he always seems to get the better of them. Wilson rushed for 118 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.4 yards per carry, and also threw for 213 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Miners duked it out back in October.

Bishop Manogue Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Brandon Mann
Brandon Mann was instrumental in extending Bishop Manogue's winning streak to six on Friday. Mann was unstoppable, throwing for 160 yards and five touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and also rushing for 44 yards.
Mann must have Reno's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Mann threw for 226 yards and five touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Huskies duked it out back in October.

Nathan Shannon Delivers Best Performance of Season
Nathan Shannon produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Bishop Manogue to the win on Friday. Shannon rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 73 yards.
On the season, Shannon has run in 6 touchdowns while averaging 61.7 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 1.44 rushing yards per game.

Pele Masina Goes Supernova in Bishop Manogue Victory
Bishop Manogue picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Pele Masina. Masina did his part (and then some), rushing for 98 yards on only ten carries, while also catching a touchdown for the 'W'.
If history really does repeat itself, Masina might just drop another big game when he faces off against Reed on Friday. Masina rushed for 189 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.6 yards per carry the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in October.
