South Central Border (8 Man) 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 Vineyard As Argonia/Attica Won 45-0
Starting off the list is Argonia/Attica's Carson Vineyard, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Vineyard picked up 121 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 102 rushing yards dating back to last season.
On the year, Vineyard has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 34.9 receiving yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.

Trent Haag Goes Supernova in West Elk Victory
Trent Haag's big game helped extend West Elk's winning streak to seven on Friday. Haag did his part (and then some), rushing for 54 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 88 yards and a touchdown for the 'W'.
West Elk pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. They and Central are set to duel on Thursday.

West Elk Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Creyo Koop
West Elk picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Creyo Koop. Koop did his part (and then some), picking up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 30 yards and two touchdowns for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Koop could be in store for another big game when he takes on Central on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Koop saw the Raiders), he rushed for 111 yards and four touchdowns.
