D6 District 5 (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Alec Watchorn Drops League-Best Effort on Thursday
Starting off the list is Leyton's Alec Watchorn, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Watchorn's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fourth straight game with at least 134 rushing yards. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 58 yards.
For the season, Watchorn has thrown 18 touchdowns (and and only 1 pick) while averaging 126.3 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 13.
Gamescore: 80.32
Potter-Dix found a leader in Dylan Tabor as the team took down Creek Valley on Thursday. Tabor was unstoppable, rushing for 86 yards and two touchdowns on only five carries, while also throwing for 110 yards and two touchdowns. He has become a key player for Potter-Dix: the team is 2-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
On the season, Tabor has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 78 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 31.33 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 131.5 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 65.27
Landon Gasseling Makes It Two for Potter-Dix
Keeping Tabor company is Landon Gasseling, a fellow Potter-Dix player. He picked up 110 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 14 yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 65 yards.
For the year, Gasseling has caught 7 touchdowns while averaging 60.2 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after six games last season, he was only averaging 29.33 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 44.38
Creek Valley had to settle for second on Thursday, but Lane Brenneman sure wasn't going down easily. Potter-Dix had no answer to Brenneman as he rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 58 receiving yards. Brenneman showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 59 yards.
Creek Valley is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. Brenneman and Creek Valley will head out on the road to take on Garden County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 43.87

This year, Estrada has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 14.9 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 1.86 receiving yards per game.
