Monsignor Martin A 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!
Landon Welka Has Career Rushing Day
Starting off the list is St. Francis's Landon Welka, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Welka rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 141 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. St. Francis is 2-1 when Welka posts 80 or more rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
This season, Welka has thrown 11 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 190.2 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after five games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to five.
