D1 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!
Bryan Isom Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Tri County Northeast got the W thanks in part to Bryan Isom playing the best football he has all season. Isom rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, and also picked up 58 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This year, Isom has caught 2 touchdowns while averaging 24.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 17 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 36.83 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 45.40
Chase Smith and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Guardian Angels Central Catholic picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Chase Smith. Smith's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 118 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Guardian Angels Central Catholic's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-0. Smith will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Wisner-Pilger on Friday.

On the year, Hass has thrown 6 touchdowns while averaging 61.7 passing yards per game.

Tri County Northeast Gets a Boost from Jorgensen in 48-13 Victory
