Great West 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!
Korbin Johnson Has Career-Day on Friday
Starting off the list is Holcomb's Korbin Johnson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Johnson rushed for 250 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.9 yards per carry, and also picked up 59 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 136 or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Holcomb, bringing their record for this year to 4-1. Johnson and Holcomb will look to defend their home field on Friday against Scott at 7:00 p.m.

A Season-Best Performance from Julian Meraz Leads Ulysses over Goodland

On the season, Meraz has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 52.8 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 30.4 receiving yards per game.
