D2 District 6 (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!
Luke Shoemaker Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Central Valley's Luke Shoemaker, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Shoemaker rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also picked up 61 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 64 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory (which was Central Valley's fifth in a row) raised their record to 7-1. Shoemaker and Central Valley will welcome Elm Creek at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Central Valley Gets a Boost from Wolf in 60-6 Win
The second Central Valley player making an appearance here is Zaden Wolf, and for good reason. He rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 147 yards and three touchdowns on only 13 passes. Wolf is crushing it when it comes to rushing touchdowns: he's punched in at least two every time he's taken the field this season.
This season, Wolf has thrown 15 touchdowns (and and only 1 picks) while averaging 114.5 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he was only averaging 1.63 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 57.55
Anselmo-Merna was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Dane Duryea did his best to prevent it. Despite the defeat, Duryea was still balling out as he rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 86 yards and a touchdown.
On the year, Duryea has thrown 3 touchdowns while averaging 24.8 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 50.78
