A District 6 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Blake Smith Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Thursday, Westview got the W thanks in part to Blake Smith playing the best football he has all season. Smith rushed for 206 yards on only 12 carries. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (107.9) per game. Those 206 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
The victory made it two in a row for Westview and bumps their season record up to 5-2. Smith and Westview will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Millard West on October 25th.
