A-8 Central (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played from last Thursday through Saturday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Logan Ginter Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Starting off the list is Clear Creek's Logan Ginter, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Thursday Ginter picked up a sack, made five total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defended a pass, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 69 yards.
The victory (which was Clear Creek's third in a row) raised their record to 5-2. Ginter and Clear Creek will take on Justice at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
