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!
Yough's Losing Streak Is No More Thanks to Raidon Kuroda
Yough's seven-game losing streak is now nothing but a memory thanks in part to Raidon Kuroda. On Friday Kuroda made six total tackles and defended a pass. The performance also marked the most rushing yards (134) he has had since back in September. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 100.6 rushing yards per game.
On the season, Kuroda has averaged 7.1 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had eight rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 13.
Gamescore: 73.12
Camren Phillips Goes Supernova in Southmoreland Defeat
Southmoreland was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Camren Phillips did his best to prevent it. Nobody could stop Phillips as he rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown. He is becoming a predictor of Southmoreland's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
This year, Phillips has run in 7 touchdowns while averaging 80.3 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after ten games last season, he had one rushing touchdown.
