TAIAO Division 2 - North (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Lubbock T Gets a Boost from Schmidt in 70-49 Loss
Starting off the list is Lubbock T's Korbin Schmidt, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Schmidt rushed for 265 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 9.8 yards per carry, and also threw for 30 yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 144 rushing yards.
On the season, Schmidt has thrown 15 touchdowns while averaging 84.2 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 57.27 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 154.45 rushing yards.

Harvest Christian Academy Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to Peyton Ellison

Ellison did his part (and then some), picking up 199 receiving yards and three touchdowns, while also punching in two touchdowns on the ground for the 'W'. He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 75 yards.
On the year, Ellison has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 58.4 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after 11 games last season, he had seven rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 12.
