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!
Hayden Barton Dazzles in Lake Hamilton Win
Starting off the list is Lake Hamilton's Hayden Barton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Barton rushed for 203 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 11.9 yards per carry. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in September.
Barton might have his next game, a road matchup with Jonesboro, circled on his calendar. When Barton last faced the Hurricane back in September of 2023, he rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.

Kane Archer and Co. Win 23rd in a Row
Kane Archer's big game helped extend Greenwood's winning streak to 23 on Friday. Archer turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 132 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, while also throwing for 162 yards and a touchdown while completing 94.1% of his passes. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
Mountain Home had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Archer it was a similar story. Archer threw for 268 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards the last time he and the Bombers duked it out back in November of 2023.
