Big Central - American Silver 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!
Ryan Turner's Big Game Leads Ridge over Union
Starting off the list is Ridge's Ryan Turner, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Turner rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 47 receiving yards and a touchdown. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 80 yards.
Turner is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Hunterdon Central on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Turner saw the Red Devils), he picked up 85 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Winning always takes teamwork, but on Friday Anthony Guerrero stepped things up a notch to give Hillsborough the 'W'. Guerrero turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 1.5 sacks, making eight total tackles (4.0 for loss), and defending a pass.
Hillsborough's victory was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 3-3. Guerrero and Hillsborough will venture away from home to take on Bridgewater-Raritan on Friday.
