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!
Vineyard Posts Huge Game in 45-0 Victory
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.
For the season, Vineyard has caught 4 touchdowns while averaging 34.9 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.

Trent Haag's Big Game Leads West Elk over Northeast
Trent Haag's big game helped extend West Elk's winning streak to seven on Friday. Haag turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 54 yards and two touchdowns, while also throwing for 88 yards and a touchdown.
West Elk pushed their record up to 7-0 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. They and Central are set to duel on Thursday.

Creyo Koop and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
West Elk picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Creyo Koop. Koop was unstoppable, picking up 88 receiving yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 30 yards and two touchdowns. 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.
Koop is probably looking forward to his next game, a road matchup against Central on Friday. Koop rushed for 111 yards and four touchdowns the last time he and the Raiders duked it out back in September of 2023.

Hunter Henderson Delivers Best Effort of Season
Central came up short on Friday despite Hunter Henderson delivering his best game to date. Henderson threw for 152 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 35 yards.
Central and West Elk are set to duel on Thursday. Henderson will face off against Creyo Koop, the Patriots' star running back. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
