D1 District 7 (8 Man) 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!
Thayer Central Gets a Boost from Souerdyke in 60-18 Victory
Starting off the list is Thayer Central's Sam Souerdyke, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Souerdyke rushed for 209 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
Thayer Central is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Souerdyke and Thayer Central will head out to square off against Exeter-Milligan/Friend at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Sandy Creek Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Ethan Shaw
Ethan Shaw's big game helped extend Sandy Creek's winning streak to seven on Friday. Shaw was unstoppable, rushing for 106 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 183 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Exeter-Milligan/Friend had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Shaw it was a similar story. Shaw rushed for 85 yards and four touchdowns, and also threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per attempt the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in September of 2023.

Connor Rempe Dazzles in Sandy Creek Victory
Connor Rempe was instrumental in extending Sandy Creek's winning streak to seven on Friday. Nobody could stop Rempe as he picked up 38 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 33 yards.
Exeter-Milligan/Friend's probably not too fond of Rempe given he always seems to get the better of them. When Rempe last faced the Bobcats back in September of 2023, he picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 51 yards.

Sutton now has a winning record of 4-3. Huxoll and Sutton will face off against Tri County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
