Eastern Missouri Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Duan Mcroberts Jr. Goes Supernova in Wright City Win
Starting off the list is Wright City's Duan McRoberts Jr., who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. McRoberts Jr. rushed for 134 yards and three touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 78 yards.
McRoberts Jr. is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Van-Far on Friday. When McRoberts Jr. last faced the Indians back in September of 2023, he rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, and also threw for 110 yards and a touchdown.

For the year, Galbreath has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 139.5 rushing yards per game.

Jacob Hogue Puts an End to Montgomery County's Losing Streak on Friday
Montgomery County's seven-game losing streak dating back to last season is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Jacob Hogue. Nobody could stop Hogue on Friday as he picked up 69 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 42 yards and a touchdown. He didn't just play on offense: he also made six total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Montgomery County's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-5. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Wildcats challenges Bowling Green at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
