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!
Grant Came Up Big in Maclay's 41-0 Victory
Starting off the list is Maclay's George Grant, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Grant threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns.
Grant and Maclay will square off against Deerfield-Windsor at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The last time Grant took on the Knights, he threw for 252 yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 64 yards. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Ethan Braun Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, St. John Paul II got the W thanks in part to Ethan Braun playing the best football he has all season. Braun's receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 136 receiving yards dating back to last season. He also hauled in two receiving touchdowns, which is notable because St. John Paul II is undefeated when he posts at least two receiving touchdowns, but 1-4 otherwise.
St. John Paul II's road trip will continue as they head out to face FAMU DRS at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Braun took on the Baby Rattlers, he picked up 105 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Nash Beshears Makes It Two for Maclay
The second Maclay player making an appearance here is Nash Beshears, and for good reason. He picked up 95 receiving yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making five total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defending a pass.
On the season, Beshears has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 82.9 receiving yards per game.

Caden "6" Collier Makes It Two for St. John Paul II
The second St. John Paul II player making an appearance here is Caden "6" Collier, and for good reason. He rushed for 65 yards on only five carries.
This year, "6" Collier has averaged 56.4 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 9.63 receiving yards per game.

A Season-Best Performance from Isaiah Butler Leads FAMU DRS over Wewahitchka
On Friday, FAMU DRS had to settle for second even though Isaiah Butler put up the best numbers he has all season. Butler rushed for 35 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 138 yards and a touchdown on only eight passes, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
FAMU DRS is on a 14-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-8. Butler and FAMU DRS will face off against St. John Paul II at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
