UpState 8 - East 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!
Tommy Doyle's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is West Chicago's Tommy Doyle, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Doyle rushed for 171 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for West Chicago: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
On the season, Doyle has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 69.1 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he was only averaging 9.56 rushing yards per game.

Nicco Camillo Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Ridgewood got the W thanks in part to Nicco Camillo playing the best football he has all season. Camillo rushed for 105 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He has become a key player for Ridgewood: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-5 otherwise.
This year, Camillo has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 46.4 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he had two rushing touchdowns.

On the year, Vitale has thrown 17 touchdowns while averaging 215.6 passing yards per game.
