A-II District 4 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!
Fairland Gets a Boost from Schertz in 55-6 Victory
Starting off the list is Fairland's Carson Schertz, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Schertz threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 102 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Fairland's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
Fairland's victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 2-4. Schertz and Fairland will head out on the road to challenge Hominy at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Trey Bennett Turns in Another Game with at Least Three Passing Touchdowns
Woodland was led to victory by Trey Bennett, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Bennett threw for 190 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards and two touchdowns. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in November of 2023.

Woodland's victory was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-0. Bennett will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Afton on Thursday.
