Braden Brown Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Triton Central's Braden Brown, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Brown made six total tackles (2.0 for loss). He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 84 yards.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Triton Central, bringing their record for this year to 6-2. Brown and Triton Central will look to defend their home field on Friday against Speedway at 7:00 p.m.

LJ Ward Delivers Best Effort of Season
Indianapolis Lutheran was led to victory by LJ Ward, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Ward picked up 176 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 85 yards.
Ward and Indianapolis Lutheran will face off against Beech Grove at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Saints got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Hornets, probably because Ward had a solid game then too: he picked up 86 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
