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.

West Elk Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Trent Haag
Trent Haag's big game helped extend West Elk's winning streak to seven on Friday. Haag did his part (and then some), rushing for 54 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 88 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
West Elk pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. They and Central are set to duel on Thursday.
Gamescore: 46.42
Creyo Koop Dazzles in West Elk Win
West Elk picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Creyo Koop. Koop did his part (and then some), picking up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 30 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'. 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.
Koop might have his next game, a road matchup with Central, circled on his calendar. Koop rushed for 111 yards and four touchdowns the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 42.75
Dante Henley Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Dante Henley posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Central over Sedan on Friday. Henley picked up 91 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, connecting on a big catch for 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.

Hunter Henderson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Central came up short on Friday despite Hunter Henderson delivering his best game to date. Henderson threw for 152 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 35 yards.
This season, Henderson has thrown those 3 touchdowns while averaging 34.7 passing yards per game.
