Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Dionne Sims Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is King's Dionne Sims, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Sims rushed for 244 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 71-yard run.
King now has a winning record of 4-3. Sims and King will square off against Kingwood at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Marquez Xavion Ziair Davis Leads Kingwood over Atascocita
Sadly, Marquez Xavion Ziair Davis posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Kingwood over Atascocita on Friday. Xavion Ziair Davis wasn't messing around, rushing for 201 yards and three touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown. The match was his third straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 50 yards.
On the season, Xavion Ziair Davis has run in 13 touchdowns while averaging 144.7 rushing yards per game.
Gamescore: 54.45
Blake Thomas Delivers Electric Performance Vs Goose Creek Memorial
Summer Creek found a leader in Blake Thomas as the team took down Goose Creek Memorial on Friday. Goose Creek Memorial had no answer to Thomas as he threw for 246 yards and four touchdowns while completing 89.5% of his passes, and also rushed for 43 yards.
Thomas and Summer Creek will host Humble at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Bulldogs got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Wildcats, probably because Thomas had a solid game then too: he threw for 196 yards and three touchdowns, and also punched in a rushing score. Can he match (or beat) that performance?

Javienx Mouton Makes It Two for King
Another King player making an appearance on this list is Javienx Mouton. He wasn't messing around on Thursday, forcing two fumbles and making 15 total tackles (2.0 for loss). The matchup was his fourth straight with five or more total tackles.
On the year, Mouton has averaged 7.7 total tackles per game.
Gamescore: 30.75
Dominick Toulon Turns in Season-Best Performance
King was led to victory by Dominick Toulon, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Toulon picked up two sacks and made seven total tackles (3.0 for loss). He is becoming a predictor of King's success: when he posts at least two sacks the team is 3-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
If history really does repeat itself, Toulon might just drop another big game when he faces off against Kingwood on Saturday. When Toulon last faced the Mustangs back in October of 2023, he picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made 11 total tackles (5.0 for loss).
