4A North 1 Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Ishmael Came Up Big in Frederick's 44-22 Defeat
Starting off the list is Frederick's Gavin Ishmael, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ishmael rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown while picking up 7.5 yards per carry, and also threw for 314 yards and two touchdowns. He is becoming a predictor of Frederick's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 7-2 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
On the season, Ishmael has thrown 31 touchdowns (and and only 4 picks) while averaging 231.7 passing yards per game. It gets even more impressive: after 11 games last season, he had seven rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 12.

Loveland Gets a Boost from Eastin in 49-21 Loss
Loveland had to settle for second on Saturday, but Ryder Eastin sure wasn't going down easily. Eastin was unstoppable, throwing for 294 yards and three touchdowns while completing 74.3% of his passes, and also rushing for 53 yards.
For the season, Eastin has thrown 13 touchdowns while averaging 133.8 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after 12 games last season, he was only averaging 77.33 passing yards per game.

While Monarch might've come up empty on Friday, Chase Gray wasn't going down without a fight. Gray was unstoppable, rushing for 21 yards and a touchdown.
