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!
Creyton Roup Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Mound City's Creyton Roup, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Roup rushed for 246 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 38 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He didn't just play on offense: he also made five total tackles and defended a pass.
On the season, Roup has run in 11 touchdowns while averaging 101.1 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 9.57 rushing yards per game.

Brock Holmes Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Brock Holmes was instrumental in extending Rock Port's winning streak to eight on Friday. Holmes was excellent, rushing for 161 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.5 yards per carry. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (104.4).
Rock Port's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Holmes will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against South Nodaway on Friday.

Corbyn Jakub and Co. Win Eighth in a Row
Corbyn Jakub was instrumental in extending Rock Port's winning streak to eight on Friday. Jakub was dynamite, rushing for 72 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries, while also throwing for 101 yards on five of 14 attempts.

On the season, DeRosier has averaged 47.5 receiving yards per game.
