3A-2 Region II District 7 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!
Braden Ulmer's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Howe's Braden Ulmer, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Ulmer rushed for 249 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 87 yards.
On the season, Ulmer has run in 13 touchdowns while averaging 127.2 rushing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 4.5 receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 15.17 receiving yards.

Micah Dickerson Delivers Best Effort of Season

For the year, Dickerson has thrown 19 touchdowns (and and only 3 picks) while averaging 251 passing yards per game.
