Ravhan Hawkins' Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Alliance's Ravhan Hawkins, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Hawkins rushed for 165 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

JR Jackson Makes It Two for Alliance
Keeping Hawkins company is JR Jackson, a fellow Alliance player. He rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also threw for 111 yards on only eight passes.
On the season, Jackson has averaged 127.3 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after ten games last season, he was only averaging 0.4 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 46.6 rushing yards.

Thomas Posts Huge Game in 26-7 Victory
West Branch picked up their tenth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Jeremiah Thomas. Salem had no answer to Thomas as he rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries, and also threw for 121 yards and a touchdown.
West Branch's victory was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-0. Thomas and West Branch will host Hubbard at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

West Branch Wins Tenth-Straight Thanks to Boston Mulinix
Boston Mulinix was instrumental in extending West Branch's winning streak to ten on Friday. Mulinix was unstoppable, rushing for 167 yards and a touchdown. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September of 2023.
Mulinix must have Salem's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Mulinix last faced the Quakers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 112 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries.
