Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Big Game from Pruitt As West Noble Won 35-0
Starting off the list is West Noble's Estil Pruitt, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Pruitt rushed for 280 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 10.0 yards per carry. He was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 50 yards.
Unfortunately for Lakeland, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Pruitt. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Pruitt saw the Lakers), he rushed for 190 yards and three touchdowns.
