D6 District 5 (6 Man) Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances in games played on Thursday and Friday (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Alec Watchorn Earns League's Top Spot
Starting off the list is Leyton's Alec Watchorn, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Watchorn rushed for 134 yards and two touchdowns on only ten carries, and also picked up 40 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
The victory (which was Leyton's third in a row) raised their record to 4-1. Watchorn will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Garden County on Thursday.

Wilsie Lobner and Co. Win Fifth in a Row
Wilsie Lobner was instrumental in extending Garden County's winning streak to five on Thursday. Lobner wasn't messing around, rushing for 83 yards and two touchdowns on only eight carries, while also picking up 37 receiving yards and a touchdown. The match was his fifth straight with two or more rushing touchdowns dating back to last season.
On the season, Lobner has caught 6 touchdowns while averaging 47.4 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had two rushing touchdowns. This year he is already up to ten.
