Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Big Game from Kilmer As Gainesville Fell 35-20
Starting off the list is Gainesville's Colton Kilmer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Kilmer threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown.
Patriot had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Kilmer it was a similar story. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Kilmer saw the Pioneers), he threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.9 yards per attempt, and also rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown.
