Jahmani Muhammad Dazzles in Harlem Win
Starting off the list is Harlem's Jahmani Muhammad, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Muhammad rushed for 293 yards and a touchdown while picking up 12.7 yards per carry. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
Rockford East had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Muhammad it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Muhammad saw the E-Rabs), he rushed for 297 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per carry.

While Belvidere might've come up empty on Friday, Antonio Villarreal wasn't going down without a fight. Nobody could stop Villarreal as he picked up 40 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Belvidere is on a ten-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. Villarreal and Belvidere will take on Rockford Auburn at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.
