Braden Walter Drops League-Best Performance on Friday
Starting off the list is Heritage's Braden Walter, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Walter made ten total tackles.
This season, Walter has averaged 6.9 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 interceptions. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three receiving touchdowns. This year he is already up to nine.

Sean Bailey Delivers Best Performance of Season
Sean Bailey produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Jay County to the win on Friday. Bailey rushed for 93 yards and two touchdowns on only 12 carries, and also threw for 111 yards on seven of 11 attempts. His longest rush was for an impressive 60 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total.
With the win, Jay County broke their six-game losing streak and moved their record to 3-7. They and Fort Wayne Bishop Luers are set to duel on Friday.

Weber Made His Presence Known in Heritage's 54-14 Loss
The second Heritage player making an appearance here is Lucas Weber, and for good reason. He rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 52 receiving yards.
For the season, Weber has caught 1 touchdown while averaging 20 receiving yards per game.
Gamescore: 27.75
Wesley Summersett was a major factor in South Adams's victory over Union City on Friday. Summersett was dynamite, picking up 32 receiving yards and a touchdown.
The win got South Adams back to even at 5-5. Summersett will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Tri on Friday.

Lucas Strait Turns in Another Game with at Least Seven Total Tackles
On Friday, Jay County got the W thanks in part to Lucas Strait playing the best football he has all season. Strait wasn't messing around, picking up a sack, making 13 total tackles (2.0 for loss), and defending three passes. The contest was his 15th straight with seven or more total tackles dating back to last season.
On the year, Strait has averaged 9.8 total tackles per game and for the season has 5 sacks. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he had one sack.
