Korbin Johnson's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Starting off the list is Holcomb's Korbin Johnson, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Johnson rushed for 250 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 8.9 yards per carry, and also picked up 59 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 136 or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
The victory was the fourth in a row for Holcomb, bringing their record for this year to 4-1. Johnson and Holcomb will host Scott at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
