Wheat State (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!
Jaren Garrison Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Little River had to settle for second even though Jaren Garrison put up the best numbers he has all season. Garrison rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. Little River is undefeated when Garrison posts 100 or more rushing yards, but 1-2 otherwise.
This season, Garrison has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 96.7 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging one rushing yard per game.
Gamescore: 52.53
Solomon took down Canton-Galva on Friday, a win that might not have happened without Carlos Duran's performance. Duran did his part (and then some), picking up 207 receiving yards and three touchdowns for the 'W'. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 68 yards.
Solomon's victory ended a seven-game drought on the road dating back to last season and puts them at 2-5. Duran and Solomon will look to defend their home field on Friday against Little River at 7:00 p.m.
