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!
Wyatt Mckee Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Keystone's Wyatt Mckee, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Mckee made 11 total tackles.
Unfortunately for Firelands, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Mckee. Mckee made 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Falcons duked it out back in October of 2023.
Gamescore: 43.10
Shackelford Posts Huge Game in 33-18 Victory
Another Keystone player making an appearance on this list is Zach Shackelford. He rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 48 yards and two touchdowns.
This season, Shackelford has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 113.3 passing yards per game.

Gage Maruna's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Gage Maruna posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns.
The win (which was Columbia's third in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Maruna and Columbia are taking a road trip to square off against Brookside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 38.65
Clearview was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Josiah Longo did his best to prevent it. Longo turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 95 yards on only eight carries. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles.
Clearview's defeat ended a ten-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-1. Longo and Clearview will face off against Black River at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Jimmy Stofey Makes It Two for Columbia
The second Columbia player making an appearance here is Jimmy Stofey, and for good reason. He rushed for 79 yards on only ten carries.
For the season, Stofey has averaged 74.1 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14 rushing yards per game.
