North Star - Big Dipper (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!
Garrett Somers Goes Supernova in Alcona Loss
Starting off the list is Alcona's Garrett Somers, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Somers rushed for 103 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also threw for 144 yards and two touchdowns. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in October of 2023.
On the season, Somers has thrown 29 touchdowns (and and only 2 picks) while averaging 171 passing yards per game.

Landon Galea Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Landon Galea continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his third-straight game with at least 107 receiving yards. He picked up 132 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown. The performance once again pushed his average receiving yardage north of 100 yards per game (101.6). He really caught the secondary sleeping when he pulled down a catch that went for 79 yards.
Mio-Au Sable's probably not too fond of Galea given he always seems to get the better of them. Galea picked up 144 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground the last time he and the Thunderbolts duked it out back in September of 2023.

Brandon Fogle Makes It Two for Alcona
The second Alcona player making an appearance here is Brandon Fogle, and for good reason. He rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns. He showed off some serious burst, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 54 yards.
On the season, Fogle has run in 18 touchdowns while averaging 126.9 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after nine games last season, he had one rushing touchdown.

Rogers City's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Justin Romel

Jace Cheedie put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in October of 2023 on Friday. He picked up 68 receiving yards. He showed off some serious burst, cutting upfield on a catch for 52 yards.
Mio-Au Sable's probably not too fond of Cheedie given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Cheedie saw the Thunderbolts), he threw for 221 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 69 yards and a touchdown on only nine carries.
