Starting off the list is Beaverhead County's HANK HAGENBARTH, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. HAGENBARTH rushed for 79 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also picked up a sack and made eight total tackles.

Carson Gulick Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Whitefish got the W thanks in part to Carson Gulick playing the best football he has all season. Gulick rushed for 106 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 139 yards and three touchdowns.
For the year, Gulick has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 205.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 24 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 73.6 rushing yards.

This year, Savik has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 57.8 receiving yards per game.

Shaedon Perry Turns in Season-Best Performance
Shaedon Perry produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Polson to the win on Friday. Perry rushed for 87 yards and three touchdowns on only five carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Polson's win bumped their record up to 4-2. Perry and Polson will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Whitefish at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.

Brady Schmill and Co. Win Ninth in a Row
Brady Schmill's big game helped extend Frenchtown's winning streak to nine on Friday. Schmill made two total tackles, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Frenchtown's victory was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 6-0. Schmill's next matchup is against Ronan on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
