D1 District 7 (8 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
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!
Souerdyke Came Up Big in Thayer Central's 60-18 Victory
Starting off the list is Thayer Central's Sam Souerdyke, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Souerdyke rushed for 209 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making six total tackles and defending two passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
Thayer Central is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Souerdyke's next matchup is against Exeter-Milligan/Friend on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.

Sandy Creek Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Ethan Shaw
Sandy Creek picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Ethan Shaw. Shaw was dynamite, rushing for 106 yards and three touchdowns, while also throwing for 183 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes. He didn't just play on offense: he also made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Shaw must have Exeter-Milligan/Friend's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Shaw last faced the Bobcats back in September of 2023, he rushed for 85 yards and four touchdowns, and also threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per attempt.

Connor Rempe Dazzles in Sandy Creek Victory
Connor Rempe was instrumental in extending Sandy Creek's winning streak to seven on Friday. Rempe turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 38 receiving yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 33 yards.
Exeter-Milligan/Friend had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Rempe it was a similar story. Rempe picked up 119 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 51 yards the last time he and the Bobcats duked it out back in September of 2023.
