Starting off the list is St. Michael the Archangel's Luis Tellado, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Tellado rushed for 127 yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 101 rushing yards dating back to last season.

Ward Came Up Big in Summit Christian Academy's 24-21 Win
Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Michael Ward stepped things up a notch to give Summit Christian Academy the 'W'. Nobody could stop Ward as he rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 155 yards and a touchdown.
It'll be Battle of the Birds when Eagles dukes it out withVan Horn at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Ward took on the Falcons, he threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
