Hanley Posts Huge Game in 62-28 Loss
Starting off the list is Peoria Notre Dame's Jack Hanley, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Hanley rushed for 183 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.7 yards per carry. He is becoming a predictor of Peoria Notre Dame's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).

Lawson Alwan Goes Supernova in Peoria Notre Dame Loss
Keeping Hanley company is Lawson Alwan, a fellow Peoria Notre Dame player. He rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries, and also picked up 61 receiving yards. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
For the year, Alwan has averaged 15.4 receiving yards per game.
