Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
West Noble Gets a Boost from Pruitt in 35-0 Victory
Starting off the list is West Noble's Estil Pruitt, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Pruitt rushed for 280 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.0 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 50 yards.
Lakeland had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Pruitt it was a similar story. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Pruitt saw the Lakers), he rushed for 190 yards and three touchdowns.
