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!
Kreyton Wiese Dazzles in Wauneta-Palisade Victory
Starting off the list is Wauneta-Palisade's Kreyton Wiese, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Wiese rushed for 190 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.0 yards per carry. He is becoming a predictor of Wauneta-Palisade's success: when he posts at least 80 rushing yards the team is 2-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
For the season, Wiese has run in 16 touchdowns while averaging 125.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown.
