Capital Area - Blue 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!
Abram Larner Dazzles in Dewitt Win
Starting off the list is DeWitt's Abram Larner, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Larner picked up 95 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 91 yards on only nine carries. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
Larner must have East Lansing's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Larner rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also picked up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Trojans duked it out back in September of 2023.

Dewitt Gets a Boost from Larner in 42-35 Victory
Elliott Larner's big game helped extend DeWitt's winning streak to five on Friday. Larner was dynamite, rushing for 138 yards and a touchdown, while also throwing for 133 yards and two touchdowns.
East Lansing had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Larner it was a similar story. When Larner last faced the Trojans back in September of 2023, he rushed for 135 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 130 yards and a touchdown.
