D2 District 2 (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!
Hardeman Posts Huge Game in 63-6 Win
Starting off the list is Lyons-Decatur Northeast's Gavin Hardeman, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hardeman rushed for 145 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries.
Hardeman might have his next game, a home matchup with Bancroft-Rosalie, circled on his calendar. When Hardeman last faced the Panthers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 73 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.
Gamescore: 71.75
Graysen Briggs Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Graysen Briggs posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 189 yards and a touchdown while picking up 11.8 yards per carry. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 51 yards.
If the past is any indication, Briggs could be in store for another big game when he takes on Lyons-Decatur Northeast on Friday. Briggs rushed for 171 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in September of 2023.
Gamescore: 45.65
Braylon Wegner and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Braylon Wegner was instrumental in extending Bancroft-Rosalie's winning streak to six on Friday. Winside had no answer to Wegner as he picked up 66 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
If the past is any indication, Wegner could be in store for another big game when he takes on Lyons-Decatur Northeast on Friday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Wegner saw the Cougars), he picked up 108 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Gamescore: 40.27
Andrew Haberman Turns in Season-Best Effort
Wynot was led to victory by Andrew Haberman, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Haberman rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries, and also caught a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 54 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Haberman and Wynot will take on Winside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Haberman will face off against Mace Magwire, the Wildcats' star WR. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.
