Price Posts Huge Game in 36-26 Win
Starting off the list is Ponder's Tyson Price, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Price threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown on only six carries. He didn't just play on offense: he also forced a fumble, made nine total tackles, and defended a pass.
This year, Price has thrown 22 touchdowns while averaging 272 passing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had 12 passing touchdowns.

Carson Schoppa Delivers Best Effort of Season
Carson Schoppa produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Vernon to the win on Friday. Schoppa rushed for 125 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
Vernon has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Schoppa and Vernon will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Bowie at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.

Boyd is on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5. Parks and Boyd will challenge Bowie on Friday.
