Midwest 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!
Jonathan Pearson Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Tri-County was led to victory by Jonathan Pearson, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Pearson rushed for 198 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.3 yards per carry. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.1 rushing touchdowns per game. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
Bowman Academy's probably not too fond of Pearson given he always seems to get the better of them. When Pearson last faced the Eagles back in October of 2023, he rushed for 171 yards and four touchdowns on only 11 carries.
