Rafe Newton Has Career Rushing Day
Starting off the list is Ririe's Rafe Newton, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Newton rushed for 207 yards and three touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Ririe's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 4-2. Newton and Ririe will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on North Fremont at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th.
