South Central Border (8 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!
Vineyard Came Up Big in Argonia/Attica's 45-0 Victory
Starting off the list is Argonia/Attica's Carson Vineyard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Vineyard picked up 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. His rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 102 rushing yards.
This season, Vineyard has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 34.9 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.

Trent Haag and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Trent Haag's big game helped extend West Elk's winning streak to seven on Friday. Haag was unstoppable, rushing for 54 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 88 yards and a touchdown.
West Elk pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. They and Central are set to duel on Thursday.

Creyo Koop Delivers Electric Effort Vs Northeast
West Elk picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Creyo Koop. Nobody could stop Koop as he picked up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 30 yards and two touchdowns. Koop is crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least two every time he's taken the field this season.
If history really does repeat itself, Koop might just drop another big game when he faces off against Central on Friday. When Koop last faced the Raiders back in September of 2023, he rushed for 111 yards and four touchdowns.

Dante Henley Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Central had to settle for second even though Dante Henley put up the best numbers he has all season. Henley picked up 91 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 56 yards.
Central is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6. They and West Elk are set to duel on Thursday.

On the season, Henderson has thrown those 3 touchdowns while averaging 34.7 passing yards per game.
