Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Tait Reynolds Goes Supernova in Queen Creek Victory
Starting off the list is Queen Creek's Tait Reynolds, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Reynolds rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns, and also threw for 156 yards and two touchdowns.
Williams Field's probably not too fond of Reynolds given he always seems to get the better of them. Reynolds rushed for 61 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 246 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Black Hawks duked it out back in September of 2023.
