Three Rivers (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!
Marmaton Valley Gets a Boost from Lawson in 46-0 Victory
Starting off the list is Marmaton Valley's Brayden Lawson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Lawson threw for 164 yards and three touchdowns on only nine passes, and also rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last five games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Lawson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Crest on Friday. Lawson threw for 198 yards and five touchdowns on only 13 passes the last time he and the Lancers duked it out back in October of 2023.

Crest found a leader in Jensin Barker as the team took down Centre on Friday. Barker was unstoppable, rushing for 68 yards and two touchdowns.
For the year, Barker has run in 10 touchdowns while averaging 77.5 rushing yards per game.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Demitri Williamson stepped things up a notch to give Oswego the 'W'. Northeast had no answer to Williamson as he rushed for 50 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 22 yards and a touchdown.
This season, Williamson has run in 10 touchdowns while averaging 78.7 rushing yards per game.

Jaedon Granere Turns in Season-Best Performance
Jaedon Granere produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Marmaton Valley to the win on Friday. Granere wasn't messing around, picking up 81 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also punching in a touchdown on the ground. The contest was his fourth straight with two or more receiving touchdowns dating back to last season.
On the season, Granere has caught 9 touchdowns while averaging 70.8 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging 46.2 receiving yards per game.

Josh Hutchinson Makes It Two for Oswego
The second Oswego player making an appearance here is Josh Hutchinson, and for good reason. He rushed for 95 yards and a touchdown. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending a pass.
If the past is any indication, Hutchinson could be in store for another big game when he takes on Cedar Vale/Dexter on Friday. When Hutchinson last faced the Spartans back in October of 2023, he rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries.
