Northeast 8 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!
Hubbard Gets a Boost from Hackwelder in 39-31 Loss
Starting off the list is Hubbard's Alexander Hackwelder, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hackwelder rushed for 96 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 181 yards and a touchdown. He has become a key player for Hubbard: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 1-2 otherwise.
Hackwelder and Hubbard will be playing at home against Lakeview at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The last time Hackwelder took on the Bulldogs, he rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 237 yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Dominick Tolone Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Girard had to settle for second even though Dominick Tolone put up the best numbers he has all season. Tolone threw for 310 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.5 yards per attempt, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground.
For the season, Tolone has thrown 9 touchdowns while averaging 163.1 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging 0.14 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 13.43 rushing yards.

This season, Collier has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 52.1 receiving yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after seven games last season, he had two receiving touchdowns.

Michael Hazimihalis' Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Hubbard came up short on Friday despite Michael Hazimihalis delivering his best game to date. Hazimihalis rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
On the season, Hazimihalis has averaged 48 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he was only averaging two rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 22.29 rushing yards.

Braydon Songer Delivers Electric Performance Vs Beaver
Another Hubbard player making an appearance on this list is Braydon Songer. He picked up 150 receiving yards and a touchdown. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 76 yards.
Songer and Hubbard will host Lakeview at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Eagles had to take a loss when they last met the Bulldogs, but Songer had little to do with the loss: he picked up 133 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
