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!
Tristian Euell Delivers Best Performance of Season
On Friday, Collierville got the W thanks in part to Tristian Euell playing the best football he has all season. Euell wasn't messing around, picking up two sacks, making 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss), and defending a pass. The game was his fifth straight with six or more total tackles.
Germantown had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Euell it was a similar story. Euell picked up two sacks, forced a fumble, and made five total tackles the last time he and the Red Devils duked it out back in September.
