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!
Gavin Markey Delivers Best Performance of Season
Gavin Markey produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Jefferson to the win on Friday. Markey rushed for 228 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 9.1 yards per carry, and also threw for 43 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 105 or more in the last eight games he's played.
Cherokee Bluff had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Markey it was a similar story. Back in October (the last time Markey saw the Bears), he rushed for 206 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry, and also threw for 75 yards and two touchdowns.
