Parker Broughton Has Career-Day on Friday
Starting off the list is Beekmantown's Parker Broughton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Broughton rushed for 183 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The win (which was Beekmantown's fifth in a row) raised their record to 5-1. Broughton and Beekmantown will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on AuSable Valley at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.
