D2 District 2 (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!
Hardeman Made His Presence Known in Lyons-Decatur Northeast's 63-6 Win
Starting off the list is Lyons-Decatur Northeast's Gavin Hardeman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hardeman rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries.
Hardeman might have his next game, a home matchup with Bancroft-Rosalie, circled on his calendar. Hardeman rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 71.75
Graysen Briggs' Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Graysen Briggs posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 189 yards and a touchdown while picking up 11.8 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 51 yards.
If the past is any indication, Briggs could be in store for another big game when he takes on Lyons-Decatur Northeast on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Briggs saw the Cougars), he rushed for 171 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries.
Gamescore: 45.65
Braylon Wegner and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Braylon Wegner was instrumental in extending Bancroft-Rosalie's winning streak to six on Friday. Winside had no answer to Wegner as he picked up 66 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
Wegner is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Lyons-Decatur Northeast on Friday. Wegner picked up 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 40.27
Andrew Haberman Delivers Best Effort of Season
Wynot was led to victory by Andrew Haberman, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Haberman rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also caught a touchdown. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 54 yards.
Haberman and Wynot will challenge Winside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Haberman will face off against Mace Magwire, the Wildcats' star receiver. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
