B North 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!
Big Game from Doucette As Messalonskee Fell 26-20
Starting off the list is Messalonskee's Tatum Doucette, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Doucette rushed for 146 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 129 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 passes. He is becoming a predictor of Messalonskee's success: when he posts at least 100 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't).
If history really does repeat itself, Doucette might just drop another big game when he faces off against Mt. Blue on Friday. Doucette rushed for 173 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 72 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in October of 2023.
