Eastern 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!
Big Game from Johnson As Enterprise Won 26-20
Starting off the list is Enterprise's Jj Johnson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Johnson threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on only 14 carries.
Johnson must have Shasta's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October (the last time Johnson saw the Wolves), he rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries, and also threw for 187 yards and a touchdown while completing 78.9% of his passes.

The game was his fifth straight with five or more total tackles. He has become a key player for Enterprise: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two sacks, but 2-3 otherwise.
