Luke Smith Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Conotton Valley's Luke Smith, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Smith rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.

Talen Brown and Co. Win Fifth in a Row

Slaton Pettit Turns in Season-Best Performance
Slaton Pettit produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Cameron to the win on Friday. Pettit rushed for 117 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also picked up 45 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
For the season, Pettit has run in 4 touchdowns while averaging 55.2 rushing yards per game.

Joey Wade's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Hundred over Southern
While Joey Wade delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Hundred. Despite the defeat, Wade was still balling out as he rushed for 85 yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an incredible 80 yards.
Hundred is on an 11-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5. Wade and Hundred will venture away from home to face off against Paden City at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Zachary Putnam Makes It Two for Conotton Valley
Another Conotton Valley player making an appearance on this list is Zachary Putnam. He threw for 163 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last four games he's played dating back to last season.
Putnam must have Frontier's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Putnam saw the Cougars), he threw for 225 yards and four touchdowns on only 16 passes.
