Marion Gets a Boost from Jones in 38-7 Victory
Starting off the list is Marion's Timotheus Jones, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Jones rushed for 127 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 58 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The win got Marion back to even at 4-4. Jones and Marion will head out to face off against Anderson on Friday.

While Jack Gonzalez delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Harrison. Gonzalez was unstoppable, making six total tackles and defending a pass. He didn't just play on offense: he also made six total tackles and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
The defeat snapped Harrison's winning streak at four games and leaves them with a 5-3 record. Gonzalez and Harrison will be playing in front of their home fans against Kokomo at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
