Starting off the list is Redwood's Jimmie Burk, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Burk rushed for 132 yards and four touchdowns.
Monache had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Burk it was a similar story. When Burk last faced the Marauders back in October of 2023, he rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries.
