D1 District 6 (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!
Carson Mcdonald Goes Supernova in Mccool Junction Win
Starting off the list is McCool Junction's Carson Mcdonald, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mcdonald rushed for 118 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 180 yards and three touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 118 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Mcdonald will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant performance when he faces off against Shelby-Rising City on Friday. Mcdonald will face off against Logan Lindsley on Friday, the Huskies' star quarterback. 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.
