D6 District 2 (6 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!
Red Cloud Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Connor Rust
Connor Rust was instrumental in extending Red Cloud's winning streak to six on Friday. Nobody could stop Rust as he rushed for 102 yards and three touchdowns on only eight carries, and also picked up 58 receiving yards and a touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 61 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
Red Cloud's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-0. Rust will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Dorchester on Friday.

Gage Ely and Co. Win Sixth in a Row
Gage Ely's big game helped extend Red Cloud's winning streak to six on Friday. Ely turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 157 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.2 yards per carry. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making four total tackles and defending two passes.
For the season, Ely has averaged 25.7 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to 14.
Gamescore: 43.95
Harvard had to settle for second on Friday, but Cohen Reutzel sure wasn't going down easily. Reutzel turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 28 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Harvard is on an 11-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Cardinals takes on Lewiston at 3:00 p.m. on Friday.

Big Game from Englehart As Red Cloud Won 53-22

For the year, Englehart has averaged 17.8 passing yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to 11.
