6-Man North (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
William Stackhouse Delivers Best Performance of Season
Altoona-Midway was led to victory by William Stackhouse, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Stackhouse rushed for 134 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries, and also threw for 156 yards and three touchdowns while completing 71.4% of his passes.
Stackhouse might have his next game, a road matchup with Ingalls, circled on his calendar. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Stackhouse saw the Bulldogs), he picked up 99 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 48 yards.
Gamescore: 81.28
Cheylin found a leader in Harley McPherson as the team took down Western Plains on Friday. McPherson turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 162 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, while also catching a touchdown.
This year, McPherson has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 27.2 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to ten.
Gamescore: 65.18
Another Game with at Least Two Rushing Touchdowns from Dylan Wark
Dylan Wark continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his sixth-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least two rushing touchdowns. He rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also picked up 129 receiving yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Golden Plains's success: when he posts at least 80 receiving yards the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
For the season, Wark has caught 5 touchdowns while averaging 39.2 receiving yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 8.83 receiving yards per game.

Weskan Wins 13th-Straight Thanks to Austin Smith
Austin Smith was instrumental in extending Weskan's winning streak to 13 on Friday. Smith turned in his biggest game of the season, rushing for 60 yards and two touchdowns.
Weskan pushed their record up to 6-0 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. They and Northern Valley will meet in a canine-themed contest on Friday.
