TAIAO Division 1 - North (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Andrew Keller Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Fort Worth THESA's Andrew Keller, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Keller picked up 31 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 53 yards.
The win (which was Fort Worth THESA's fifth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Keller and Fort Worth THESA will head out on the road to challenge Johnson County Sports Association at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Layton Francis Makes It Two for Fort Worth THESA
Another Fort Worth THESA player making an appearance on this list is Layton Francis. He threw for 158 yards and five touchdowns, and also rushed for 82 yards on only ten carries.
For the season, Francis has thrown 16 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 111.5 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 51.5 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 96.17 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 45.73
Angel Manon was a major factor in Westlake Academy's win over Tyler HEAT on Friday. Tyler HEAT had no answer to Manon as he rushed for 75 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. Manon also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles and defending a pass.
The victory got Westlake Academy back to even at 3-3. Manon and Westlake Academy will play host again on Friday to welcome Wichita Christian, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:30 p.m.

Another Fort Worth THESA player making an appearance on this list is Xzavior Bright. He picked up 51 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
For the season, Bright has caught those 2 touchdowns while averaging 18 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging five rushing yards.

Thomas Guess and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Thomas Guess's big game helped extend Texas Wind's winning streak to six on Friday. Guess was dynamite, rushing for 45 yards and a touchdown.
