DuKane 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!
Yorke Posts Huge Game in 27-14 Victory
Starting off the list is Wheaton-Warrenville South's Owen Yorke, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Yorke rushed for 203 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 70 receiving yards. He is becoming a predictor of Wheaton-Warrenville South's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
Wheaton-Warrenville South now has a winning record of 4-3. Yorke and Wheaton-Warrenville South will venture away from home to take on Batavia at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Bodi Anderson Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Batavia got the W thanks in part to Bodi Anderson playing the best football he has all season. Anderson rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on only six carries, and also threw for 140 yards and two touchdowns. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run.
This season, Anderson has thrown 10 touchdowns while averaging 134.7 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 6.29 passing yards per game.

A Season-Best Effort from Sean Keegan Leads St. Charles East over Batavia
Sadly, Sean Keegan posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead St. Charles East over Batavia on Friday. Keegan rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 72-yard run.
St. Charles East has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season. Keegan and St. Charles East will square off against Geneva at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
